According to Shahed, Obama \u201caccomplished exactly what he needed to accomplish\u201d with his speech in Cairo, Egypt. \u201cHe was really pressing for people to say in public what they say in private. Everybody knows what the solutions to a lot of these problems are and I think there is vast agreement on what they are going to be. But nobody really talks about it and puts the cards on the table,\u201d said Amanullah, of Austin, Texas.<\/p>\n
