The Post slammed Obama's "One Love" speech at the UN General Assembly yesterday, calling it "pathetic" and hailing the new prez as "naif-in-chief." The Post did not hesitate to pile it on, accusing Obama of "stunning cluelessness" and asking "Who wrote President Obama's speech for the start of the UN General Assembly yesterday — Rodney King?"
The Post's objections focus on two main things, Obama's "insults to America," in which he may have countenanced the "belief... that America has acted unilaterally," and his "backstabbing" of Israel. Obama said of Israel: "America does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements." You can look at full text and video to see if you agree with the Post's conclusions.
Shockingly, the Times had a slightly different take on the speech, calling it "another step toward repairing America’s battered image," but they too were generally critical, noting that it glossed over problems in Afghanistan, Israel/Palestine, and Iran.
Rodney King appeared on tv appealing for calm in the 1992 LA riots, asking, "Can't we all just get along?", which of course became a great sample for police-brutality music mixes.

There was a time, from around 2003 until about eight months ago, that Kaddafi was scared shitless of us. Now that Obama is in charge he's back to being a nutjob. Probably not a coincidence. Just sayin'.
A. I don't see what "Kaddafi" has to do with the post above.
B. How quickly you seem to have forgotten that it was Bush and Condi (not Obama or the Democrats) who renewed U.S. ties with Libya back in 2006.
Just sayin'... stop being a dumbass.
A. The apologist angle Obama delivers in every foreign policy speech is getting old. These guys already know we have severe domestic problems that might preclude us from intervening overseas...continuing to soften our image will only embolden the bad guys.
B. Exactly, but it was initiated by Kaddafi who feared being driven out of power and into a rat hole like his friend Saddam.
the US hasn't recognized the legitimacy of the settlements for some time now. neither clinton nor bush supported them, so can't really see how that's backstabbing.
The New York Post is the Glenn Beck of the tabloids.
Who cares what the Post says? I wouldn't even wipe my ass with Post. Or... Maybe its the only thing its good for.
Who care what the Post says? I wouldn't wipe my ass with it.
You said it. Twice.
i thought rodney king was the guy who said "don't tase me bro"
Meh my biggest criticism of Obama is he has these great speeches full of grand ideals... and then his voting record looks like it was handled by Dick Cheney.
One day we'll look back at this and see that we had it all wrong. You shouldn't become a celebrity and THEN president.
"You shouldn't become a celebrity and THEN president."
This is so true. If only people had realized, we would never have had Reagan as a president and the conservative movement would've died a long time ago.
How about we give Obama some time before writing him off? I know it's a wild idea...
He's got four years to prove himself. I'm just being vocal about my concerns. I think every president elected should have a chance. Not just the half african american or irish catholic ones.
Honestly I was replying more to Valeriob than to you. I agree that every president deserves a chance.
In fact, if I think back hard enough, I think there was even a time when I had hopes that GWB might bring the country together!!
The New York Post is the Glenn Beck of tabloid newspapers.
You already wrote this and it wasn't funny at 3:21, it sure as shit ain't funny at 3:49.
I'm sure you'll try again though. n00b
Glenn Beck is the Kanye West of crazy people.
I'm really happy about your comment, ima let u finish, but harrisgraber had the worst analogy of all time.
Isn't comparing Obama to Rodney King racist?
