Saudi and US flags on Riyadh light poles today, signalling the first visit of president Obama to the Kingdom. Relations between the Arab World and the US have improved significantly since the end of the Bush Administration, and Obama's visit has many Arabs enthusiastic. Many regard his election as marking a new era in the relations between the US and the Arab world. In a quick research I did on the internet, I found that 45 percent of the Arabs polled in 5 different countries, hold a favourable view of Obama. People are willing to listen to him and there is a big expectation towards the major speech to the Arab World he's delivering in Cairo tomorrow.
