I wonder what obama ment by the way he was talking about the americas?

Was he including canada,united states,mexico and south america, as one inclusive country?

what did he mean ?we want to be one country the united states of america don't we? hes putting us all to geather by that statment,i thought he was running for president of the united states,not mexico,canada and south america.

His speech was confusing to me.

I missed that one. Do you have a link to a video of the speech, or even just the part you'r talking about?

This was great -- and very daring and stunningly honest speech -- in front of what can be seen as a hostile (older Cuban) crowd.

The term "the Americas" is a commonly used regional and geographical term, meaning roughly those countries in North and South America, considered in a group. We all have shared interests just because we share a hemisphere -- and it is a breath of fresh air to see a Presidential candidate addressing this fact.

Some people are easily confused.

I watched his speech again this am on c-span and i think maybe his promishing to much to fulfill , obama was talking to a group of cubian people and he said that he would drop the embargo against cuba and in the speech that i wrote about yesterday that now he wouldn't drop the embargo, which is it? will he drop them or not? is he just talking for the sake of talking.

Okay, I just found the speech on c-span.org and listened to it.

How could you possibly be confused by this statement? He was talking about several different countries, he even mentioned all the different languages that various countries speak. At other points he talked about 'our hemisphere.' Clearly 'the Americas' referred to the US, Latin America, and the other countries of the American continents.

I know in that speech he said that he would keep the embargo,he had a speech a day or two earlyer in which he said that he would lift the embargo against cuba,i suppose the cubian people set him strate because they are the ones that want the embargo to begin with.

I know what the americas are but what is obama meaning ,is he planing on making the americas all one country,if not then we need to fix the things that is wrong in our border,like closeing them.he will have enough to take care of right here at home.

where is he going to get all this money that he plans on spending? i'm worried that hes to far left for me.

Another thing bush tried to have canida,united states and mexico as one and was stoped i think i'm not even sure of that, and he was going to have one currency like the euro.

i'm really afeard of obamas blueprint for us.

I'm trying to work in an extended metaphor to the wisdom and international kindness of Sharon Stone today to all my posts. Maybe, Obama was thinking about her when he claimed all of the Americas for the U.S.A. or his great uncle. One or the other...
