Does anyone know if Obama is still going to give a speech in a Muslim country?

[jenmito]

Gibbs said he will not be giving "the speech" in Turkey, so where/when WILL he give it?

[MoJoWorkin]

1. Yet to be announced. They are keeping it under wraps, I think.

[jenmito]

3. Maybe it will be in Turkey afterall?

[FightingIrish]

5. Or possible that country to the southeast not on his itinerary

[jenmito]

7. Which one? Syria? Iraq?

[FightingIrish]

8. I was thinkinh Iraq.

I don't think he'd drop into Syria unannounced.

[jenmito]

10. That would be something! Maybe a little too dangerous, though.

:shrug:

2. Whenever it is, be ready to stay up or get up early to see it.....

Otherwise, you'll get the hear the commentators commenting on a speech that they may not show you.

[jenmito]

4. I know. It's really shameful how the media is ignoring everything he does!

Unless it's a possible gaffe, of course.

[Top Cat]

6. He said in his first 100 days so unless there's another overseas trip

I think it will be Turkey

[jenmito]

9. I know that's what he said. So I hope he DOES do it on this trip...

but that would cause the press to accuse Gibbs of being a liar (even though he may have to lie for security reasons?)

[MoJoWorkin]

11. Frenchie, you are on a roll! I am almost as peeved as you are about this.

I am so sick of the media spoon feeding us what they want, when they want, and how they want.

This was a MAJOR speech, and should have been on ALL the networks, uninterrupted. They could have at least waited to do their commentary, AFTER the speech. Dammit, mostly they showed some of the video while talking OVER HIM.
:grr:

[jenmito]

12. I feel the same way...

what REALLY gets me is when they say "The president is speaking right now. We'll monitor it for you and let you know if anything important comes out of it." :eyes:

13. Turkey. n/t
