Half joking: He did not choose Indonesia because the chances were too great that in an unguarded moment without TOTUS he would say something like ‘I was born here…’

An added bonus to giving a speech in Indonesian for Obama is that he would not need a visa to enter, since he is an Indonesian citizen.

Probably why he didn’t choose it. Afraid some of those embarrassing old records might surface as the Indonesian Muslims rushed to celebrate Barry Soetoro as one of their own.

A bazaar in Egypt is selling Obama-themed memorabilia heralding Obama as the new King Tutankhamun ahead of the U.S. president’s upcoming visit.

Ah, King Tut, the insignificant boy king — used and controlled by others, and with a mercifully short reign. An apt comparison.

Why Cairo? If he wanted to address the Muslim world maybe something closer to home like Toronto, or according to the President’s theory that America is one of the world’s largest Muslim countries, why not from Dearborn Michigan?.. He could visit Government Motors.

Why Cairo?
Conveniently located just three freeway exits from Megiddo.

He's speaking from GIza's Cairo Univeristy. Giza would be an unusual political choice for most, but for Obama it was entirely predictable because the location and history is symbolically related to his personal cult image, not so much his Muslim roots. As soon as the vague Arab capitol teaser was put out there I thought he was just delaying the inevitable choice but was trying to figure out how he might explain why he wanted to address to the world from the pyramid complex. As it turns out, he found a center of knowledge in Giza and will speak from the Great Hall there. Nice political compromise.

isalm is slavery. The word islam means submission.
islam and freedom are opposites…the antithesis of one another. The two cannot exist side by side for any period of time as islam will eventually consume/destroy all personal freedoms. The koran demands it. The imams and ayatoilets are the rulers of islamic countries and they take their orders from a long dead desert bandit who created a religion for the sole purpose of enriching himself, fulfilling his many perverted sexual urges,(pedophilia,necrophilia) and enslaving all those that failed to bow down to his rule and the slavery of islam.
If all the world became muslim and sharia law was the law of the land…the flow of blood would not cease as the pages of the koran demand blood and will never be sated. Give that demonic book a read. See for yourself. Churchill called islam, “the religion of blood and death” for a reason.
No islam…Know Peace…Know islam…throw up.
Obama…emboldening tyrants and dictators since Jan 20th 2009.
islam is a lie and Truth is killing it.

Al Azar University is the Vatican of Islam. That is a good guess as to why he chose it.
The US pays around $2 billion a year to Egypt as jizyah so that they won’t attack Israel. Diplomacy on Muslim terms.

Do you all understand what is happening before your very eyes yet?

With all due respect for my homies out in South Central…is Obama the blood for oil the Left has been talking about for decades?

By: Jaibones

Jaibones — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 18:39:25 +0000

Yeah, well. Maybe he’s not addressing “the Muslim World”. Maybe he’s addressing the Arab Oil World.

Isn’t that what the left would have us believe?

“…the US has to address the Middle East of today, not of 1917…”

Well, Ed, I disagree…we need a Middle East of 1917 today more than ever.

Back then, T.E. Lawrence was getting his nascent ideas together for what was to become his epic classic “Seven Pillars of Wisdom” (Note: 7 pillars, not five, nor two…Obama has some catching up to do.) and Shepheard’s Hotel, along the Nile in Cairo, was truly a hotel to be enjoyed, a regular home away from home…and jacket and tie (or military uniform) were required for entry.

Now, no one has heard of “Al-awrance”, and tourists in sandals and t-shirts regularly invade the once hallowed halls of Sheapherd’s, and the Kuwaitis who own the Semiramis skyscraper hotel across the street have blocked out the early morning sun that used to stream into Sheapherd’s morning breakfast room…sunrise and tea for breakfast, how civilized it all once was.

In 1917, we could still make most of the locals in the region stop, pause, and praise Allah for the wonderment of man as we had machines that could take to the air…and scare the hell out of the locals. It only took them about about 83 years to get well past that fear of flying and fear of aircraft.

The Mena House, up on the Giza plateau was the best place to stay whilst clambering over the pyramids, and camel caravan or hired porters was the only way to get there..now the road outside the Mena House Oberoi is choked most of the day with diesel fume spewing noisy buses (all of Soviet make) and non-guests are actually allowed in the bar and lobby.

It all had such great potential…somebody blew it along the way. Now, our Prsident is going to show the “‘Gypters” and all the rest in the region that we are weak…weak I tell you…and ripe for being tossed aside as the Islamacists’ new caliphate spreads from Kabul to Marrakech, Mombasa to Almaty, Dearborn to South Central…

I kinda prefer that 1917 ambiance.

I wonder if anyone bothered to inform President Obama that the most recent “pharoahs” (and those responsible for the greatness of Alexandria, etc.) were white greek guys and gals, not africans nor muslims?
