President Obama makes major Middle East policy address in Cairo.
1. Asks Palestinians to forgo violence. Hezbollah and Hamas, big yawn.
2. Demands end to building of illegal Israeli settlements. Netanyahu, big yawn.
3. Patronizes Muslims by saying Islam has given us "cherished music," (except where it's forbidden) and that "Throughout history, Islam has demonstrated through words and deeds the possibilities of religious tolerance and racial equality." That's obviously the "Hussein" in Barack Hussein Obama talking.
4. Notes Islam also gave us algebra. High schoolers, big yawn.
Obama makes first stop on trip in Saudi Arabia, saying he wanted to visit place where "Islam began." Does not mention it's also place where 9/11 began.
At same time Osama bin Laden puts out dueling statement excoriating US policy in Pakistan. Who does he think he is, Dick Cheney?
First time in modern times a US President goes to Middle East without visiting Israel. In Cairo speech, presses Israel to stop building settlements and recognize Palestinians' right to their own state. Pro-Israel lobby in Washington goes into overdrive.
Obama also visits Paris, with Michelle and daughters in tow. Did you see what they did? They stayed behind and shopped. Shopped! When GM is in bankruptcy. When Chrysler is fighting for its corporate life. When unemployment approaches 10%. Where's the RNC when we need them?
General Motors, now busted to Private Motors, will be mainly owned by US Government and UAW Union. What could possibly go wrong after that?

Ex-VP Dick Cheney finally concedes no link between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda. But daughter Liz continues to insist there was a link. Guess she didn't get the family memo.
Cheney, whose daughter is gay, okays gay marriage. In this case, did get the family memo.

Media mogul David Geffen reportedly wants to buy big chunk of NY Times. Maybe just wants to see more gay marriages featured in Sunday Styles?
Polka dropped as Grammy category. Lawrence Welk two-stepping in his grave?
