Obama was just restating the US position, which has been in place since the Bush 43 administration. Obama hasn’t changed a thing.
Sorry I dare to differ -
...obama’s socialist agenda and “surrender monkey” proclivities when it comes to pursuit of a war against global islamic terrorism - and hence his actions and statements on the world stage has changed almost everything in terms of America's future - Please - Be my guest - continue to bury your head in the sand
Barack Obama’s New World Order
By Michael Scherer / Strasbourg Friday, Apr. 03, 2009
Most of the hallmarks of the foreign policy of George W. Bush are gone. The old conservative idea of “American exceptionalism,” which placed the U.S. on a plane above the rest of the world as a unique beacon of democracy and financial might, has been rejected. At almost every stop, Obama has made clear that the U.S. is but one actor in a global community.
Talk of American economic supremacy has been replaced by a call from Obama for more growth in developing countries. Claims of American military supremacy have been replaced with heavy emphasis on cooperation and diplomatic hard labor.
