The President’s Speech in Cairo: A New Beginning 0
Here’s the full video of President Obama’s speech in Cairo this morning:
Shortly after the event, Senior Advisor to the President David Axelrod sent an email from Cairo encourage Americans to watch the President’s historic speech:
We all know that there has been tension between the United States and some Muslim communities. But, as the President said this morning, if all sides face the sources of tension squarely and focus on mutual interests, we can find a new way forward.
…Majority-Muslim countries around the world are filled with extraordinary people who simply want to live their lives and see their children live better lives, just as in America. Indeed, part of what makes America great is having nearly seven million Muslim Americans living here today and enriching our culture and communities.
We can extend that kind of relationship abroad. It won’t always be easy, but if we make an effort to bridge our differences rather than resigning ourselves to animosity, we can move toward a more peaceful world over time.
