"New Beginning" Speech Wins Over Crowd: "We Love You!" (VIDEO)

Members in the audience at Cairo University interrupted President Obama's speech at least three times to shout words of praise. Below is video of one person yelling, "we love you!" Obama responds, "thank you."

Obama had just spoken this passage: "So no matter where it takes hold, government of the people and by the people sets a single standard for all who would hold power. You must maintain your power through concept, not coercion. You must respect the rights of minorities and participate with a spirit of tolerance and compromise. You must place your interests of your people and the legitimate workings of the political process above your party. Without these ingredients, elections alone do not make true democracy."

Doesn't it feel good? There is a long way to go before who he is becomes the norm in our or any government but it is a standard that will change the world. Only honest, humane, committed public servants, incorruptible by the lure of easy money, can change the world, eradicate war, disease and poverty. Only enlightened CEOs and business executives for whom winning is inclusive of all, [even the lowliest worker] will create sustainable, eco-safe and pay forward business models. The old order of hate, suspicion, slavery as the means to achieve wealth and rabid consumerism will have to be replaced in this decade.

Economists have to rethink their mathematics to include the detrimental effects of health, financial parity and ecological impact in the economic models of the next decade. It is not possible to continue to use worn out and OBVIOUSLY FAILED MODELS, created in another time for this 21st century reality. And if there is any fault to lay on this administration, it is that [IMO] it hasn't reached far enough outside the box to find POSITIVELY radical thinkers to apply serious REALITY thinking to the enormous tasks we are left with by our predecessors. The age of the throwaway worker and the throwaway ecology, war and famine, disease and suffering has to end or EVERYTHING ends!!!
