President Obama's speech at the UN

Caught some of it on radio while driving to pick up my daughters last night. I thought it was pretty good.
No doubt, some will dislike just because of who gave it! But what is there in the substance to criticize, that'll be the harder nut...

The speech was full of lies...for instance "... a crude and disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the  Muslim world."  Obama knows better.  The outrage and attack were directly caused by his drone strikes and wars in support of Israel.

"Chris went to Benghazi in the early days  of the Libyan revolution, arriving on a cargo ship. As America's  representative, he helped the Libyan people as they coped with violent  conflict..." 
Sure, and I'd like to know what cargo was on that ship.
Ambassador Chris Stevens went to Libya to help topple the sovereign government of Libya by funneling American arms and money to terrorists.

"...that  people can resolve their differences peacefully; that diplomacy can take  the place of war..."  Uh-huh.  If Obama values such things why are we directly involved in again sending money, weapons and 'advisors' to similar terrorists who are taking down Syria?  Why did we recently take the  MEK cult off the 'terrorist' list if we value peace?

" (Democracy)  depends on the freedom of citizens to  speak their minds and assemble without fear; on the rule of law and due  process that guarantees the rights of all people." Nice thing to say Obama, but then why, in the USA,  the people's right to protest peacefully is being taken away?

I could go on. A 5th grader could point out the many instances in Obama's speech.
I'm surprised the UN did not burst out laughing.

I thought his platitudes were typically meaningless and was hoping the disinterested audience would boo him off the stage. I'm at the point where I can barely stand to hear his voice and just hope that in another month and a half I won't have to hear it again. I'm amazed that folks still believe him and believe in him. He has proven his intent(to me).  J

Provide an example of something he said which you considered a meaningless platitude? Pick a whole paragraph?

   Still thinking about his "bump in the road" analogy.
