Headlines read-Obama reaches out to Islam...and boy did he. Obama gave a brilliantly delivered and amazingly powerful speech, a speech he has been working on since before getting elected. Imagine. This man is diplomacy personified. It's seems that everything in his life was meant ( by some higher power or other) to build up to this moment. It's watching history happen right in front of your eyes with him. In an except from an article in the guardian.co.uk, a local shop keeper in Cairo was interviewed, after having made t-shirts likening Obama to the king Tutankamen. The shop keeper said, "When the boy king took power, he was young and there was a lot of unrest in the world. We are hoping that like Tutankamen-he can bring peace." I'm with the shop keeper. Msnbc has some great coverage with key points from the speach. Incredible.
