I'm very pleased that there has been a change of government. One thing that struck me about Obama's speech was the lack of acknowledgement of the initial occupants of the country - the native Americans. When Obama referred to forefathers it was as if America started withy them.

apart from that, it has been very inspiring. And it's good that he rang Palestinian President Abbas first, before any other with a foreign leader. that is a good sign for the prospects of peace.
