UPDATED 11:30 a.m. 4 June 2009 -- I also liked receiving an email from David Axelrod, senior advisor to the president, with a link to video of the speech. The White House is pushing this content out beautifully.
ORIGINAL POST:
It is thrilling to see how fluid President Obama and his team have become at making his thoughts and policies apparent to as many people as possible globally using the Internet. The latest piece of evidence comes from the White House's buildup to the Cairo speech today.
According to a New York Times report, "In a bid to make sure that Mr. Obama’s message will be heard, particularly among young people, the White House has mounted an unusually aggressive campaign, including a Web site created in Arabic, Persian, Urdu and English where people outside the United States can sign up to receive the speech via text message. The State Department is to translate the speech into at least 13 languages."
This is a great commitment. I like the idea of people worldwide debating the speech in its original text, even in a U.S.-disseminated official translation text, on their own phones or laptops today. Great move!
Why not pass the 'Health' Bill Mr. Obama?
You've already proven yourself a Socialist and anti-American by giving private companies our federal money, which of course is against the United States Constitution.
The speed with which this country has converted from a Republic to a scared, disoriented, whining little Socialist State is nothing short of amazing.
Make it so we can afford the health care of our own choosing. Your current 'Health Care' Bill which will force seniors to go through 'counseling' every 5 years advising them of the best way to die is nothing short of sicking. (On page 425 of the 'Health' Bill.)
As it is, we are the laughing stock of the world because of the actions of (especially) the last two Presidents of this country.
It used to be that the world thought our streets were paved with gold and we all drove Cadillacs. Now our streets may as well be paved with dollars because they are the cheapest commodity out there. Want more? Just call the Federal Reserve and order up a batch!
We have no goals. We have no heroes. We have no leaders to protect us.
Continue the way you have and prove yourself to be even more of a hard-line Socialist.
Or prove yourself to be an American Sir, and get the United States WORKING again.
PS: Anyone who is so anti-American that they intentionally destroy their own, and my country is no friend of mine.
