UNITED NATIONS (AP) — In a closing dispatch to the world he's tried to shape, President Barack Obama conceded Tuesday that the United States and other major powers have only limited ability to solve the world's most profound problems, including Syria's civil war. He lamented the "cycles of conflict and suffering" that seem to kick in every time humanity finally seems to be getting it right.
"Perhaps that's our fate," Obama said in his last speech to the U.N. General Assembly.
Four months before leaving office, Obama called for a "course correction" to ensure that the unstoppable forces of globalization don't lead nations to entrench behind their borders and ignore the most vulnerable. He chided foreign leaders for stoking ethnic and religious divisions while faulting Russia for a brutish approach to its role on the world stage.
Still, Obama insisted it was critical not to gloss over "enormous progress" on economics and global cooperation that he said formed a template for tackling the problems of the future.

Quite a few idiots there. I’m sure some still love him.
Obama and Hillary created the massive problems in Libya and Syria and walked away from successes in Iraq.
THEY caused this current mess for sure. As usual, he lies.
I think so too. He will be a natural for the U.N. Pretending to be a friend to Israel while making things worse.
I look for it to happen; i.e. him becoming Secretary General.
Won't happen. A citizen of one of the five permanent members of the Security Council *USA included) cannot be Secretary-General.
Read post 5. Like any rules ever apply to Obama.
He’s special, you know.
Has our Congress ever stopped him on anything? Not much.
And the U.N. is made up of feckless fools with even less spine than our Congress.
