people like the reference to issa, the local word for it chooses, and the muslim word for moses. they like the fact that everyone has a role. host: cairo is a huge and bustling city -- how much of it is consumed with the presidential visit? guest: you know, i will give you the ratios. about one-third of the people stayed inside to watch the speech atand about two-thirds stayed outside playing backgammon and dominoes and smoking the local water pipe. the people interested in politics are very interested, but a lot of people are yawning. but it did get a lot of attention here. host: when you had the opportunity to converse with either officials or the citizenry, what is the anticipation of a speech like this can or cannot achieve? guest: people will be watching the next step. the like the rhetoric and the idea, the sort of do over nature of this. egyptians and arabs generally like the idea of america and americans, but the relationship has been very sour. i like the idea of resetting the whole thing and obama has come here and because of who he is a, his background, race, he got a

troops, a report on the ground in moses is that the military is keeping posts inside the city due to recent tensions between the kurds and the arab communities in iraq's second- largest city. the agreement is to pull back from all major cities within iraq. is that how -- are there exceptions to that as far as you know? >> as far as i know, the agreement is very clear. june 30, the u.s. forces pullout of urban areas. we are very committed to fulfilling the terms of that agreement. regarding this specific instance, i am not aware, but we want to do what is right by iraq. i will have to look into this specific instance. it may be a question for the pentagon and not for us. thank you. one more? >> the report on a sound -- the report on -- >> i have seen press reports but i do not have any confirmation. thanks. >> convicted swindler bernard madoff was a sentenced to 150 years in prison today for engineering and multi-billion dollars fraud scheme. it was called "unprecedented and staggering." the message must be sent that mr. madoff's crimes were extraordinarily evil. the 71-year-old forme

people criticize president obama because they think he is supposed to be moses or something.s man inherited something that george bush left behind, at eight years of a big, big mess. people like rush limbaugh, fox news, they really irritate me. barack obama cannot do anything. they will say something critical about him no matter what. he is going to be a great president, don't you think? but guest: is too early to say. whether he is or could be a great president, something that he decided at the early stages when bringing about when to run , as a mixture of the top levels, that is why he thought ronald reagan was a great president, even though he opposed all those policies. it was a time when the country was ready for that kind of change. around the time of the nevada caucuses, driving president clinton crazy -- figuratively -- prompting him to react in very undisciplined ways. i think did you can only tell the greatness of a person in hindsight. we are living in the middle of a tumultuous event. he is a historic figure and an iconic figure. look at the world's reaction to im

it is the 11th -- 11th moses's hit against here at camden yards.me runs, chasing mel.roll they don't get him. >> jim: when you stand up on e mound, and you have to throw, either on a ground ball back to you, throwing downhill, so its easy. if you separate your hands o early, and of course, this isa snap throw, right there, his hands aren't together. you can see brian just tryingo catch it from going into center field. i would imagine that's a stoln base. because he wasn't going back to the base. >> gary: infield is drawn in d sheffield will foul that one right straight back. so beltran will be credited with a stolen base, butting a runnr at -- putting a runner at third and the orioles figure this to be a low scoring ballgame will try to cut the run off. the infielders are thinking o, my gosh, we're drawn in and lk who we're looking at. 2-2 delivery, sheffield and the off speed pitch is struck out. >> jim: awfully good curveball. curveball's been good out of e strike zone, good enough, tantalizing enough. we'r

the torah, the five books of moses, commands us to leave the corners of the fields for the poor and foreigners. these injunctions are repeated in our prayers. as we look for a fair and just solution to the emigration issue in america, let us all combined this biblical instructions with the fact that we are a nation of laws and borders in america. it is unfortunate that at times during the immigration debate that the rhetoric hasotten overheated. the undertones and certain circumstances have alienated many communities. we must do everything in our power to remember the scriptures and insure immigrants in this debate are always treated with dignity and respect. [applause] the public discussion should reflect gratitude for the enormous contributions made by your community and the many others that make up the patchwork of our nation. the fabric of america is strengthened by your, and work ethics, by our determinations, by our faith in god, by our devotion to family and cultural roots, and by your willingness to serve in our military and thank you to those wounded warriors who are here.

some people think he's supposed to be moses or something and take his stake and part of the sea. he adopted basically something george bush left for eight years. he left it in a big mess so they ought to give him a break. they really should give him a break. these people like rush limbaugh and i can't think of the naim on fox news that's really irritating. barack obama cannot do anything without people singing critical about him. i want to ask a question, sir. do you think he will become a great president? >> guest: it's tough to say. look, whether he is or could be a great president is something he thought about at the earliest stages of trying to decide whether or not to run and again this is the second chapter of the book where he and his friends are discussing what makes a great president and in his opinion, he has a sort of mixture of the person and the time and that is why he thought ronald reagan and was a great president even though he opposed every single one of his policies. the character, the leadership of the individual with a time when the country was ready for that
