There is much anticipation internationally on President Obama's speech on the Mideast, scheduled for 12 noon eastern time Thursday.
But this just in: Since Obama has become President, his speeches are frequently received with reservations, if not downright dismissals from the U.S. media after sometimes substantial build-ups, so don't say I didn't warn you.
