MADELEINE ALBRIGHT: OBAMA IS EXACTLY ON TRACK

Madeleine Albright was interviewed on April 7th on MSNBC about improving U.S. relations with Muslim countries.  She talked about briefing the group of Ambassadors from Muslim countries, on April 6th, at a Search for Common Ground event hosted by the Moroccan Ambassador, and about Search for Common Ground’s publication “Changing Course” which is a blue print for the Obama administration on steps to improve U.S. relations with Muslim countries.

“It was a very interesting group of 34 Americans of various mixed backgrounds religiously, talking about the importance of a better relationship between the US and the Muslim world.  It came out in September, and we gave some very strong advice to the next President, whoever that person was going to be, and it really sounds as though President Obama is exactly on track.  We hoped that the next President would mention something about respect for Islam in the Inaugural address, and certainly President Obama did that – and we would also in fact have a relationship that would explain the importance of US-Muslim relations, not that we are at war with Islam, and President Obama has made that clear….We are very, very pleased about how this report is being received.”
