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Talk of American economic supremacy has been replaced by a call from Obama for more growth in developing countries.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.

What does that have to do with Obama supporting Turkey’s entrance into the EU, the same policy as the Bush administration’s?
