Barack Obama criticizes Bush as he outlines foreign policy goals

Published: Monday, April 23, 2007

CHICAGO — Senator Barack Obama said Monday that even though the global image of the United States had been sullied by the war in Iraq and a “foreign policy based on a flawed ideology,” America must repair its standing in the world and resist the temptation to turn inward.

“America cannot meet the threats of this century alone, but the world cannot meet them without America,” Obama said. “We must neither retreat from the world nor try to bully it into submission - we must lead the world, by deed and example.”

In a speech before the Chicago Council on Global Affairs, Obama presented himself as a presidential candidate “who can speak directly to the world.” After a sharp critique of President George W. Bush, Obama called for increasing foreign aid to developing countries, expanding and modernizing the military and rebuilding fractured alliances.

“This president may occupy the White House, but for the last six years the position of leader of the free the world has remained open,” Obama said. “And it’s time to fill that role once more.”

Somebody ping Mitt Romney with the link to this story. Then, if the issue comes up (as the media is surely scheming to do), Romney can counter with it.

How can anyone attack Obama on foreign policy? - he has none.
