NEW YORK - Exactly six weeks before election day, President Barack Obama stood on the world stage Tuesday and warned Iran that the United States will "do what we must" to stop Tehran from getting a nuclear weapon.
In what could be his last speech to the annual U.N. General Assembly, Obama also told "Arab Spring" countries groping their way uncertainly towards democracy that they have a friend—and a role model—in America. But, he said, they must battle the forces of intolerance and extremism threatening what should be "a season of progress."

The future should not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.

Speaking before the United Nations today, President Obama stated that the "U.S. will do ' what we must’ on Iran." Exactly what this means is debatable but, surely it is a sign to Iran and the Israeli's that the administration has taken a tougher stance on it's nuclear program.
He also condemned the recent anti-Islam film calling it "crude and disgusting." Saying that he "could not just simply ban it... and scolded those who denounce anti-Muslim speech but stay quiet when the target is Christianity." Further elaborating on this subject the President defends America's right to free speech, and says he always will because it is our right as a nation.
Obama also spoke about the recent killing of the Ambassador in Libya along with three other Americans. Stevens "embodied the best of America," the president said. "Today, we must reaffirm that our future will be determined by people like Chris Stevens, and not by his killers."
