Eloquence, Excellence, and The Golden Rule

I just invested an hour to watch President Obama’s speech at Cairo University. Once again, he demonstrated excellence in crafting and delivering a powerful and relevant message. He emphasized the principles of peace, respect and human dignity. He spoke candidly about seven core issues: 1) Violent Extremism, 2) The Israel/Palestine Conflict, 3) Nuclear Arms, 4) Democracy, 5) Religious Freedom, 6) Women’s Rights and 7) Economic Development. He made strong points about what unites all nations, all religions, and all humanity—The Golden Rule. He quoted from The Christian Bible, Muslim Koran, and The Jewish Talmud.
