Ive been staying out of this one because I really don't know enough about it. It has been an interesting thread and I have learned a bit....albiet some of it may not be accurate or at a minimum presented through a biased filter.
Near as I can tell nothing has happened.
The big O didn't say anything earth shattering and those who dislike him still do. They see his speech as something horrifying like bowing to the chinks/japs or giving the queen an ipod. (side note - I'm confused because during the last admin we decided we didn't care what the world thought about us, and now we aparantly do). Some say the jews should finally realize the dems hate them (there is a bit of irony given the black/jew relationship/stereotype...ala heimetown and JJ). Interesting dynamic there. The big O lovers for the most part are still ok with the dolt.
In reality, it was a nothing speech with no action/teeth. big ben didn't say anything new either. Those entranched in the anti-obama (and some big o folks that are especially strong Israel supporters) cheer it loudly and see it as ben showing the O the what for. It is also a weird dynamic when Americans start cheering and hoping foriegn leaders, and recently arab news outlets, will chastise our Prez and by extention US. Very weird. That used to piss us off at them, not at ourselves.
If this was a chess game no peice would have been moved and we would still be waiting for the timer to go off. And the grass would keep growing.
