I'm curious as to what people made of this speech. Is a pilgrimage to DC pretty standard for Salvadoran presidents? Did this one break any new ground? I'm interested in hearing what other, wiser readers than I make of it. I'm pretty fascinated by both these presidents.

I think he says "UH" too much, maybe Mr. Obama needed his teleprompter for this one too? As usual I was not impressed...and felt it was a waste of my time to sit through this.

To Lisa: I think the meeting of these two men is historic. I think they meet on equal grounds, politically and socially. I am impressed by both men. Both are excellent communicators.
Obama haters do not like much of anything he does. I don't see their point. In El Salvador, the hate is mostly in the past. May the two countries continue to work together to make a better hemisphere and a better world. "Fair" taxation and opportunities for all are basic componets for all this.
