AP CAIRO, Egypt reports
Many across the Middle East heralded the inauguration of President-elect Barack Obama on Tuesday but expressed reservations about how much he will actually change US policy in a region where anti-American sentiment spiked during the Bush administration.
Those doubts have become more pronounced in recent weeks with the devastating Gaza offensive by U.S. ally Israel that killed over 1,250 Palestinians.
But Obama still retains a great deal of goodwill in the Middle East from people who feel his multicultural background allows him to relate to the region better than past U.S. presidents.
kita positif thinking dululah sama Obama, setelah setngh tahun kepemimpinannya bru bisa kelihatan, tapi saya juga masih bersikap abu-abu sama Obama, kerena beliau bgtu khas, ayahnya muslm,,,,kemungknan ada harapn bagi dunia muslim, tp jangan terlalu banyak berhrap, nnti kecewa ktika tak sesuai harapan, thanks.
I personally think, that we should not put to much hope for Obama..
Afterall, he is US president, not the WORLD president
yang patut disayangkan dari pidato obama adalah beliau tidak menyinggung sekalipun masalah konflik israel dan palestina…
ga usah ragu ragu, jadi abu abu atau jadi apa lah…. Cap merah aja…! Obama udah jelas kafir
