Obviously written by an Obama hater.

He has to walk a very fine line.  He cannot come out and tell the Arab world the States is perfect and they should all act like Americans.  That would create WW3.  He's trying to show the he realizes the States isn't perfect, that they've done some crappy stuff in the past too, rather than get up on stage and go rah rah rah America.  Foreign countries are tired of the American attitude that they're better than everyone else just because they're American.  He also knows that half the world is looking to him for leadership to set an example for so many things.  He's not "hovering" above anyone.  He's knows that the Arabs are educated, he knows they want to be respected, and he can't just go marching in there and tell them they have to change their culture.  

I'd like to see what kind of speech Mr. Cabbagehammer would have made had it been up to him.  It's one thing to criticize all the time, but as the saying goes "don't knock the other guy till you've walked a mile in his shoes".
