Team Obama's Review of Foreign Policy Reviews
By Thomas Omestad, Washington Whispers
Foreign leaders are expressing frustration with the slow pace of appointing top diplomats, typical when a new administration begins. Now they reveal an additional problem. Not only is the White House reviewing old Bush foreign policies, but it's also reviewing its own reviews. With so many policy evaluations "piling up," a top European diplo tells us that Team Obama is trying to bring order to all the reassessing underway. How? "We're hearing about a review of the reviews that's going on," says the diplomat.

Foreign Aid Reform
Im all for helping starving people in other parts of the world, but what about the needy and starving people in our own back yards. Why cant we do more for US citizens? Why do we send Billions over seas when there are homeless here?
Foreign Aid Reform
We should be creating a diplomatic partnership. It will help make America a safer place to live in. Another thing that the Obama administration should be focusing on is helping eradicate global hunger. The more people that are left starving, the more people there are for the Taliban to potentially recruit. If all it takes is giving them food, shelter and schools for their children (which are things they really need) why wouldn't you want to pledge an allegience to them? The Borgen Project (www.borgenproject.org) has some great ideas to help reduce poverty and make developed countries a better place to live in.
