Has Barack Obamas mantra for change translated to foreign policy success one year after he became the US President? Obama promised to break away from his predecessor George Bushs polices and rebuild ties with disgruntled allies and reach out to the Muslim world. Over the course of the year, his administration attempted to re-start the stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace talks and engage with Iran and North Korea over their nuclear programmes. Obama also had to maintain a delicate alliance with Pakistan, deal with Chinas enormous economic clout and reconnect with former cold war foe Russia. In this episode of Riz Khan, we examine whether Obamas foreign policy agenda has been effective so far. Is it multilateral and can it repair the USs reputation around the world? Anand Naidoo is joined by academic and author Philip Bobbit, who served under three US Presidents; Stephen Walt, professor of international affairs at Harvard University; and Christopher Dickey, the Middle East Regional Editor for Newsweek Magazine.Author: AlJazeeraEnglish

Riz Khan - Obama's foreign policy report card
OVER 100 MORE examples of Fox News Bias at www.youtube.com When Fox News business anchor Jenna Lee reported on the surge in the stock market during the first year of the presidency of Barack Obama, the biggest stock market gain in a president's first year since before World War II, I knew Fox News would find some way to turn this good news into bad news for Obama and I was not disappointed as I show in this video. The clips of the analysis from Fox News business anchor Jenna Lee come from the program "Happening Now" broadcast January 20, 2010 (which I have not been able to find online). The clip of Obama Administration senior advisor David Axelrod comes from MSNBC's program "Hardballl with Chris Matthews" also broadcast January 20, 2010, available online at www.msnbc.msn.com The clip of Time editor-at-large Mark Halperin comes from NBC's "Meet the Press" broadcast January 17, 2010, available online at www.msnbc.msn.com The clip of Fox News anchor Trace Gallagher comes from the program "Live Desk" broadcast January 21, 2010 (which I have not been able to find online).

Paul Joseph Watson www.prisonplanet.com Thursday, January 14, 2010 prisonplanet.tv Harvard law professor Cass Sunstein, Obamas appointee to head the Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, outlined a plan for the government to infiltrate conspiracy groups in order to undermine them via postings on chat rooms and social networks, as well as real meetings, according to a recently uncovered article Sunstein wrote for the Journal of Political Philosophy. As we have often warned, chat rooms, social networks and particularly article comment sections are routinely gamed by trolls, many of whom pose as numerous different people in order to create a fake consensus, who attempt to debunk whatever information is being discussed, no matter how credible and well documented. We have seen this on our own websites for years and although some of those individuals were acting of their own accord, a significant number appeared to be working in shifts, routinely posting the same talking points over and over again. It is a firmly established fact that the military-industrial complex which also owns the corporate media networks in the United States has numerous programs aimed at infiltrating prominent Internet sites and spreading propaganda to counter the truth about the misdeeds of the government and the occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan.
