Obama’s worldwide star power finds limits

Obama has become a global celebrity. He is using this to repair America's image. He talks of limiting nuclear weapons, begin engaging adversaries, and more. Events have show Obama's personal charm limits. Obama faces leaders who don't like the new president remind differences with U.S. and the world. Some nations refuse to send new troops, ignore pleas, and to head off a coup. Leaders have refused efforts at peace. Some say Obama raised hopes with expectations for peace.

I think that with Obama becoming known around the world is good for America's image because he is different then President Bush and has made a few good changes for the United States. I don't think that Obama's charm has to do with anything. If he won the election just on charm then America has elected the wrong person for president. We elected Obama in hopes that he could help America and help clean up the mess that has been made. Yes there may be differences between the United States and the rest of the world but with a new presidency the world needs to put the past behind them and look forward to the future. As for the people who thought of President Obama's speech for peace as something that was going to happen right away. Well, it needs a bit more time then just Obama's 8 months of presidency.
