Obama and the Arab Spring (YP Discussion Group)

The World Affairs Council, Young Professionals invite you to our fortnightly discussion group:

From the first stirrings of unrest in Northern Africa, President Obama has talked about a new opportunity for the US to bring its actions closer in line with its values. During the Arab Spring, has Obama's policy differed significantly from the normal trajectory of American policy? Does the killing of Osama Bin Laden create new opportunities for diplomatic action? Will Obama halt the momentum of the movement with his new focus on the Israel/Palestine standoff?

President Obama has declared himself a war monger. I would never in my life take an AK 40 to dinner with a friend. President Obama has blown the opportunity he has to bring the world together. He was well respected before he picked up where the criminal George W. Bush left off. In fact, the report has now indicated President Obama has gone beyond George W. What troubles me so much as citizen of this great country is that every American President wants to be war president. What does that do to the nation. The only president that wanted to bring peace and wanted America to champion it was president Kennedy, but America had to kill him. I'm not afraid, but prayerful for my dear country. We must have president that respect life. A president that loves the US and the humanity. Obama is war monger. He fails the test-peace exams.
