On her Twitter account, Jordan's Queen Rania said Mr. Obama's words were "genuine and thoughtful," and she called the speech a "much-needed change in tone."
VOA News - Obama Speech Gets Mixed Reaction in Middle East
Cannot disagree with her here.

"Rania" write today:
At launch of Teacher's Academy. More than politicians, armies or businessmen, the single most powerful force for shaping our nation.
My hat off to all teachers around the world.

Went to Rasoun village where public private partnerships are turning it into a unique tourist destination
Rasoun:walking trails, Roman burial caves, Byzantine church, olive groves, traces of Ummayad times & warm hospitality.
Walking around Rasoun, rich smell of Arabic coffee & fresh baked bread. Not a 5*hotel, but a 5*experience
I'm reminded of what an honor it is to represent Jordanians: their resourcefulness, hospitality, sincerity.
This kind of honesty of spirit is so rare and hard to come by. All that matched by natural surroundings, so raw and authentic.

The Peter Pan reference Queen Rania made a few posts back is this play showing in Kensington Gardens
Peter Pan Kensington Gardens - The Official Peter Pan Kensington Gardens Website
I went to see it with a friend a few weeks ago and it's spectacular. If anybody n the forum will be in London anytime soon they should defintiely make the effort to see it. It easily rivals any of the West End musicals.

Now her comments make more sense. My cousin was also at the concert, maybe she saw QR  .
QR seems very good friend of Bono.

Breaking News: Arab Leaders Start 'Tweeting'
By far the most famous Arab leader to delve into social networking is Jordan's Queen Rania Al Abdullah, who has written 91 twitter updates since her highness began microblogging in early May.
The Queen has attracted almost half a million followers in just two months, and regularly gives guarded personal insights into the Jordanian royal family's life. One recent post, for example, reads: "As u can c, my 4 yr old beat me at negotiating table re suit, but as trade-off, impeccable behavior! So proud!"
Another: "Father & son, bonding ovr wknd. Mum worrying, surrounded by real life action heroes. It's a curse!" she wrote, posting a photo of King Abdullah on a motorbike.
While anyone can follow the Queen, she only follows only 37 'tweeters', among them: California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, British chef Jamie Oliver, the BBC, CNN journalist Anderson Cooper, former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, The Onion, Oprah, Time Magazine, NPR and the New York Times.
Queen Rania also boasts 65,000 fans on her Facebook profile and another 21,000 on her YouTube channel.
Many other Middle Eastern leaders have Facebook and Twitter profiles, among them Saudi King Abdullah Bin Abdulaziz Al-Saud, Libya's Muammar Al Gaddafi and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak. Who has control over these identities is not clear. Queen Rania's Facebook page was originally set up by a fan, then taken over by the Queen.
"Queen Rania is doing it personally while the others are done by handlers," Daoud Kuttab, a columnist based in Jordan, told The Media Line. "They know young people are not reading newspapers these days. It's a clever way to stay in touch and manage their image in the way they want it to be seen."
Be it Policy or Pride, Arab Leaders Start 'Tweeting'

Obviously Queen Rania spent part of her summer holidays with her kids in Napa Valley.
Rania Al Abdullah (QueenRania) on Twitter
Don't over-plan, just 'hang out'-miracles can happen!
Best outcome for me while in Napa Valley (in addition to uncontrollable culinary indulgence) was connecting w/ daughter, Iman.
By the way, for all you perplexed parents out there, summer hols can be great for deciphering teenage language code.
It hasn’t all been relaxation though. I’ve been keeping up to date with progress in global efforts to get every child into school.
Had a great time with the family. Kids just love the summer holidays, but who doesn’t like nearly two months off!
Well, it’s been a glorious summer. Disconnecting yourself from the world is true freedom. I recommend it every once in a while!
