President Obama, speaking days after returning from his first overseas trip since taking office, said the most critical problems confronting the nation and the world can be solved only through international cooperation.
"These are challenges that no single nation, no matter how powerful, can confront alone," Obama said yesterday in his weekly radio and Internet address. "The United States must lead the way. But our best chance to solve these unprecedented problems comes from acting in concert with other nations."
Major obstacles such as climate change, the global financial crisis, terrorism and nuclear proliferation demand coordinated action to overcome, Obama said.
It was a point he made during his eight-day trip to Europe, Turkey and Iraq. As he appealed for international cooperation, Obama spoke candidly about American mistakes and noted that many nations now have a voice in shaping global policy.

So let me get this straight. What he just said was that he’s going to take a back seat on global policy and that he’s going to tie his hands until he sees other nations take the lead and the initiative to set global policy? Am I hearing him correctly? Is this another way of voting present?
Excerpt from the NewAsia article says it all about this POS:
He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath.
So much is said about Obama and his policies, yet so little information is really known or given about him and his policies in the end.
It’s like a total media push button manipulation noise blackout. And after that they complain of poor ratings and obsolescence, them and the wannabe Obama sheeple too... what an empty hypocrite lying pack of evil people is this?
