What can you say about the Obama speech except to say that his guarantee of security for Israel is bogus when he calls from them to pull back to the 1967 borders. Obvious from the speech that Obama sides with the Muslims in the Middle East and anyone who doesn't get it by now has a reading comprehension problem. Does he want the Muslim Brotherhood in charge of every square inch of the Middle East?

President Obama, delivering his first major address tackling the uprisings in the Middle East, on Thursday endorsed Palestinians' demand for their own state based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war.
Though the move is likely to aggravate the Israelis, Obama said the United States' commitment to Israeli security is "unshakable." He also rejected attempts by the Palestinians to gain recognition for their own state before the United Nations.
Until Thursday, the U.S. position had been that the Palestinian goal of a state based on the 1967 borders, with agreed land swaps, should be reconciled with Israel's desire for a secure Jewish state through negotiations.
In the speech, Obama also offered an ultimatum to Syrian President Bashar Assad, telling him to either support a democratic transition or "get out of the way."
