Raw Video: Obama Honors Founder of Modern Turkey



I like the raw video better most of the time, no chit chat by vapid announcers.

April 6 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama, seeking to reaffirm the U.S. commitment to its alliance with Turkey, took part in a wreath-laying ceremony in Ankara today to honor the founder of the modern Turkish state.

“I am honored to pay tribute to Mustafa Kemal Ataturk,” Obama wrote in a visitors’ book at Ataturk’s tomb, praising him for putting Turkey on “the path to democracy.” The Turkish leader’s “legacy continues to inspire generations around the world,” Obama wrote.

Obama arrived in Ankara last night on the first stop of a two-day trip to Turkey, his first as president to a Muslim country. The president’s visit is meant to “strengthen and demonstrate” an important relationship for the U.S., Robert Gibbs, Obama’s spokesman, told reporters.

Quickie: Obama Visit to Turkey Will Not Include Major Speech

By GottaLaff


Today's Quickie: The Speech, with a capital The, will not be part of President Obama's Turkey trip:
President Obama will visit Turkey next month as part of a broader international trip, but an administration official said on Saturday that it would not be the site of the major address that he pledged to deliver in a Muslim capital during the opening months of his administration.
That is all.

Clinton: Obama to visit Turkey


You know what's going to happen, right? The same way they bitch because President Obama goes outside the beltway (so they gripe he's not "back at the White House fixing things"), they'll kvetch that he should stay home and do whatever it is that they think needs doing at the time. We need to remind them of the "walk and chew gum" saying...

ANKARA, Turkey (CNN) — President Obama plans to visit Turkey in about a month, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said Saturday.

Clinton was holding talks in Ankara with officials "to emphasize the work the United States and Turkey must do together on behalf of peace, prosperity and progress," she said.

Obama had said he was going to deliver a speech in a Muslim capital within the first hundred days of his presidency. Clinton did not say that Obama would be making such a speech during this visit.
