I Thought Obama Was Going to Change U.S. Foreign Policy?

Barack Obama pledge throughout the campaign for the Presidency in 2008 that he would repair the image of America throughout the world, and end George W. Bush's reckless adventures in the War on Terror.

However, the Change that was promised by Obama, is not what most people were expecting when they voted for him. The world still hates us, and they are reserved about President Obama. We are still in Iraq, and expanding our presence in Afghanistan.

Watch this video from Reason T.V. to see what I am talking about:



All that President Obama did, was change the focus of the War on Terror back to Afghanistan. He is committing more money, and more soldiers to the effort; something he rallied against in the Iraq Theater.

While I believe the time has come to pull out of the region, it is apparent, that President Obama is the same as President Bush. He was the typical politician that lied to get elected and went back on all his promises.
