June 4: From Israel to Afghanistan, President Barack Obama's highly anticipated speech was well received. NBC's Martin Fletcher, Richard Engel and Andrea Mitchell report.

I wish this opinion piece was emailed to others until the GOP was forced to deal with these issues; I wish they would change for the good of our country. The first thing that comes to my mind is that the GOP is rotten to it's core. Even their intelectuals are spoiled rotten like bad fruit.
