It's very difficult to keep up on internet things when you have no internet access at your home.

Obama made his speech on the "Arab Spring" yesterday. I only heard part of it while he was delivering it. The pundits were saying that the "Arab street" thought it was too little, and Israel and many conservatives thought it went too far. It's going to be interesting to see how this washes out. Will Obama actually try to push Israel into doing things that it really would rather not do - like give up occupied land? If Obama tries, can he actually do it? He has given up on a few things he promised, like closing Guantanomo prison. So, just because he puts something out as a major goal, doesn't necessarily automatically mean that he will get it done. The devil's in the details anyway.
