Obama's 2009 speech "A new beginning"

[enchanted]

Leo's latest blog post "human rights are social construct" made me think of this speech. In it Obama claims that US values are "human rights". 

Otherwise the speech is very interesting especially in contrast with the way George Bush and Trump talk. This speech is a big reason Obama won the Nobel Peace prize since he was trying to mend relationships with the Arab world after 9/11 and the ensuing wars. 

I also think Trump was trying to do a similar thing when he went to North Korea. Trump thinks he should win the Nobel Peace prize.  However, Trump and Obama couldn't be more different people.

Can’t have human rights when all the humans are WRONG.
