Field Observation/ Interview

VIDEOS ON BARACK OBAMA:

" One of the failures of foreign policy over the last seven years has been a secretive type of foreign policy, that is not informing the American people of what's happening , what's at stake, how decisions are being made, what are the risks and benefits of any particular course of action."
" I would like to be open, make sure that people have access to my decision, advisers. I'm going to make sure that we are explaining our policies in a very clear manor, to makes sure that people can develop and restore a since of trust that my administration is making the best decision based on the best advice, the best information and based on the beliefs of the American people. "

"He is no longer talking about the war of terror, he is talking about a specific well defined enemy, Al Quaeda. He is not going to use terms such as Islamic facism. He is going to focus on Al-Quaeda withouth eliminating the rest of the Arab world.
“My job to the Muslim world is to communicate that the Americans are not your enemy,”

" No country will find it exceptable to finding missiles ranning down on the heads of their citizens."
" When you see civilians whether palestinian or Israeli harmed undergoing heardship, it's heartbreakin, and obvioulsy what it does, is make me more determined to break a deadline that has gone on for decades. "
" I think that if you look at what happened under the Clinton Administration and the Bush Admninistartion, you are seeing general outlines ofn an approach, and players of the region are understaning the comprimises that are going to need to be made."
"The reason for the United States to be involved and engaged emediately, not waiting until the end of their turn is because working through the politics of this requirs a third party, and the Obama Administration can create it."

For my Field Observation, I looked at several intervies of Barack Obama on youtube. The main theme through out all of them, is that Barack OBama is moving forward, finding a solution for the Middle East, going and talking to the Arab world, and assuring them that the U.S no longer wants to be their enemy. Barack Obama has great plans for the middle East. The main goals for Barack Obama's foreign policy are : to secure loose n uclear materials from "terrorists, to pursue tough, direct diplomacy without preconditions to end the threat from Iran, and to renwet the American Deplomacy. Watching vidoes on Barack Obama was timeconsuming, but extremely fun. He is a great public speaker, and I learned a lot. I am so happy to of done this project on him, and pleased that he is now the President of the United States.
