Obama 'strengthened America' in first year: White House

The White House Tuesday argued President Barack Obama's "steady diplomacy" had made America stronger and renewed its moral authority despite "unprecedented challenges" in his first year in office.

But the assessment, posted on the White House website, did not dwell on the lack of success garnered by one of Obama's top priority foreign policy drives, peace moves in the Middle East, and reflected a tougher tone on Iran.

"A year later, America is stronger because of the president's leadership," said Ben Rhodes, deputy national security advisor for strategic communications, in a White House blog post.

"The global economy has been pulled back from the brink of catastrophe. We are responsibly winding down the war in Iraq, and increasing our focus on Afghanistan and Pakistan."

If we are stronger why id the record shows he's failed at every turn and he's pissed off countries around the world.

The world economy is headed down to below levels of the great depression and unemployment is still above 10%. We have States going in the toilet and Obama has failed at every (expletive) damn thing he's done.

I think all the drugs he's done are still effecting his brain to the point he believes his own B.S.

Everyone claims he's brilliant but so far all he's done is show himself as socialist/communist who can follow the lead of his Pal Hugo Chavez while he does all he can to destroy this country with the worst type of nonsense ever seen in over 60 years.

Excuse my ignorance, as I dont follow the news as much as I should, but has he pissed off countries around the world? Can you show examples? whats worse pissing off a few countries or pissing off many?

The world economy is headed down to below levels of the great depression and unemployment is still above 10%. We have States going in the toilet and Obama has failed at every (expletive) damn thing he's done.

Is it really headed down to below levels of the great depression?
Has he failed at EVERYTHING hes done?

Everyone claims he's brilliant but so far all he's done is show himself as socialist/communist who can follow the lead of his Pal Hugo Chavez while he does all he can to destroy this country with the worst type of nonsense ever seen in over 60 years.

Not everyone claims hes brilliant. How has he shown him self as either a socialist or a communist, more importantly how can he show himself as both? Do you believe in the law of identity?

First if you can't see he has set in motion Socialism/Communism you don't know what they are. The difference in the two is mainly how the end result of slavery is arrived at by being lied to and fooled into voting for it as Obama has done so far, or as many of his people have said at the point of a gun as Mao said.

Countries not thrilled with Obama;

1. Canada. Relations were not particularly bad between the Bush and Harper administrations. It's hard to think of an irritant as significant as the Buy American legislation that Obama signed into law with the stimulus bill. Though Canada was supposed to be exempted from that provision by an amendment recognizing U.S. obligations at the WTO and NAFTA, the Canadians are very upset about the way the measure has been implemented.

2. China. While the major issues between the United States and China are qualitatively unchanged, China is expressing substantially more concern about U.S. economic behavior than they did under the Bush administration. China is worried about the sustainability of U.S. deficit spending and what it will do to their trillions in dollar reserves. Of course, neither Bush nor Obama ever tabled a plan for a balanced budget, but the worst Bush deficit was 3.55 percent of GDP in 2004. According to the CBO, the best Obama-planned deficit in the next ten years will be 3.9 percent of GDP in 2013; the worst will be 13 percent in 2009.

3. Colombia. The Obama administration has done nothing to pass the Colombian Free Trade Agreement (FTA). The Colombians have been very explicit about how important the agreement is to them economically. All explanations for delay are based upon harsh criticism of the Uribe administration's performance.

4. Honduras. Whatever the merits of the argument over President Zelaya's ouster, in January we were getting along with them quite nicely.

5. Panama. Not only has the Obama administration teased the Panamanians with intimations of FTA passage that were later retracted, it has annoyed them with a never-ending series of requests to remove obstacles to the already-signed accord.

6. South Korea. While the Obama team has at least hinted that the Panama FTA may be passed soon, there have been no such suggestions about the FTA with Korea. The agreement was wildly controversial in Korea and the government ran serious risks by promoting it. They can hardly appreciate the way it has been placed in purgatory, particularly given the irony of the principal U.S. objection: Korean interference in its auto market. Nor has there been any notable security success with the North to offset the chill in economic relations.

7. The United Kingdom. This is a close call. On the one hand, the two countries have been enthusiastic partners in economic stimulus. On the other, a series of Obama nubs (the Churchill Bust bust, wrong-region DVDs, an iPod for Her Majesty) led some in the British press to ask how special the special relationship still was. The scales tip in favor of inclusion because the British have some of the same trade concerns as the Canadians.
