PITTSBURGH (Reuters) - President Barack Obama scored twin diplomatic coups on Friday, seizing the world stage to forge a new allied call for action against Iran and a framework for global economic growth.
The moves ended a week of intense focus on foreign policy for Obama and could help shore up his standing among Americans after recent weeks during which his popularity fell to about 51 percent from highs around 70 percent after he took office in January.
From the United Nations in New York to a Group of 20 summit in Pittsburgh, it was all Obama all the time. He declared a "new era of engagement" for U.S. diplomacy and chaired a U.N. Security Council meeting on nuclear nonproliferation.
Despite a more positive mood, solutions to world challenges from Iran's nuclear program to climate change remain elusive and Obama still faces a long list of headaches that will test his leadership.

Obama can do no wrong.
He is omnipotent.
He’s second only to Allah.
Twin diplomatic coups?
I’m sorry I musta missed something...
Oh I bet the mullahs in Iran are laughing their a$$es off over this headline.
LOL! The liberals have lost all touch with reality.
In other news, Big Brother has ordered an increase in the chocolate ration to thirty grams a week!
Does the...ahem..."reporter" have a spoon-wish for the jOker? This is repugnant writing at its worst.
The idiot starts by implying it was HUGE success. But.......there's work to and "challenges".
God, how I loathe this pre-teen-worship-club referred to as the Media.
Mark Levin is doing a pretty decent rip on Obozo’s lies of the last two days.
And the media has orgasms!!! *yawn* ...news at 11....
Up to the minute news brought to you by the Freshman Cheerleader Squad. Pure juvenile propaganda.
Wait, Iran’s effectively has nukes and the dollar is no longer important in the world so Obama won the day.
How is that?
Yeah and lots of nascar fans support this a hole right?
Go Mark Martin, show them youngsters a thing or two.
Mark’s awesome.
I think he’ll do it.
He’s really made Junior look bad coming into Hendrick with all new crew guys (new to Mark, I mean) and running so well right from the get go. Shows how good their equipment and engineering are.
I just hope Mark gets thru Talladega without getting crashed out, he deserves some luck on a restrictor track.
I hate restrictor plate racing nearly as much as I hate this points system to get “in to the race” b.s.
And another thing nascarnation,
Yeah all giddy about Danica coming to nascar?
Put her in to the wall.
:-)
I only know of one coup lately. The one that happened in the ACORN sponsored US 2008 selections.
Even the best Indy drivers take a long time to figure out Nascar because the cars are overpowered relative to the tires and amount of aero downforce. (like Monty)
Danica is definitely a second string Indy driver - she’ll be a midpacker on her best days ever in Nascar.
YOu’re right, a different ball game, just as you say, Montoya hasn’t set the field on fire now has he.
