President Barack Obama will deliver a speech on political change in the Middle East and North Africa as early as next week.
Plans for Obama to address people in the region have been under way for more than a month, as political protests have swept from country to country. A White House official says no date has been set for the speech, but it could happen before Obama departs for Europe next weekend. The official spoke on the condition of anonymity because the speech has not been formally announced. (AP)
