An overwhelming portion of the intensely demonstrated animosity toward President Barack Obama is based on the fact that he is a black man.

I think that sends a clear signal to Maliki that we won't be there indefinitely and my hope is that they'll be a commitment by the world community including the controversial nations of Syria and Iran.

All of us must learn to waste less energy.

This is a very wise and very courageous thing for President Obama to do. And in my opinion, is long overdue.
