"I've come here to Cairo ..."

"… to seek a new beginning, between the United States and Muslims around the world, one based on mutual interests and mutual respect …"

Exactly what I wanted to hear when I first started supporting Barack Obama.

If you haven't already seen it, here is the President, addressing an audience at Cairo University in Egypt, on 4 June 2009. About 55 minutes long.
