Obama's effort on foreign policy early in his administration

Obama reaches out.

I forgot what it was like to have a man of considerable intellect as president. While still towing the line on Israel, he does show a capacity for nuance considerably greater than his predecessor, whom I am convinced was overwhelmed with the job from day 1; or maybe did not possess the verbal kung fu to express himself. Either way, language is important, it's how one sees the world and understands it, what the united states has now is not the gruff and simplistic view of an ultra-christian, trust fund graduate, but someone who seems to have earned it. We'll see in the coming months, so far it looks bright.
