El Diablo No Mas? Posted by Adam Blickstein

It's clear while not mentioning his name, Obama's UN speech is rooted in establishing his presidency and approach towards the UN as the polar opposite of President Bush's:

I took office at a time when many around the world had come to view America with skepticism and distrust. Part of this was due to misperceptions and misinformation about my country. Part of this was due to opposition to specific policies, and a belief that on certain critical issues, America has acted unilaterally, without regard for the interests of others. This has fed an almost reflexive anti-Americanism, which too often has served as an excuse for our collective inaction.

While the right will continue to call this another stop on his apology tour, or timidity in the face of tyranical regimes or transnational threats, Obama is simply bringing America back to a critical leadership role in the world. The fact the word "engagement" is the central motif the speech will drive conservatives wild, but after 8 years of failed unilateral policies and widespread alienation around the world which imperiled American national security, Obama is confronting them head on. Rightly so.
