On
Tuesday January 22, 2013 an article from CNN called “World to Obama: You can’t
ignore us” is referring to President Obama’s Inauguration speech and how he did
not speak much about foreign policy. He was more focused on his goals for the
United States in his new current term and outlining a progressive vision of a
country with less inequality and more justice. “But the most subtly striking
part of Obama’s inauguration speech was how it largely ignored the rest of the
globe. In his 20-minute address, he dedicated perhaps one minute to foreign
policy.”
President
Obama wanted to address the main situations that concerned the United States
nationally rather than internationally. Many would think that Obama was
treating foreign policy unequally but really in retrospect the inauguration is
about what the United States can do to improve issues that are currently going
on in the country rather than focusing on other nations. Many people have been
critical on President Obama because of his skin color and many still seem to
not accept that we have a black president. It is obvious that Obama has plans
for his foreign policy and it is not like he didn’t mention it at all even
though it was for a short period of time.
