Obama's speech at the univ of Cairo

[Louis VI the Fat]

Is this the second, third or fourth time you've managed to use that metaphor in relation to our President? Bit of a pattern forming ...

The rest of your post bears no relationship to the speech given, so I'll just wander on.

Oops. The spade metaphor was entirely unintentional. Rather unfortunate in the context here. I do not think I've used it before. Me and another poster were a bit naughty with it once, I didn't intend to do the same thing here.

The rest of my post bears no relationship to the speech that was given indeed. Which is the very point of my criticism of the speech.

Malaysia is hardly a shining example of what an islamic country should look like:

Ah, thanks for that. I identified Malaysia with my monitor, computer components, and shiny skyscrapers in Kuala Lumpur. Apparantly, looks can be deceiving...

Impressive speech. Right up there with the greatest. I kinda agree with Louis but there's a time and a place for everything, and right now we need more of this.

Hah! Says the man who no doubt voted Wilders two days ago.

But of course you're right. The tone is what mattered in this speech, not content.
