Obama lauds new era of global diplomacy at U.N.

Heralding what he called a new international diplomacy model for the 21st century, President Barack Obama spent Tuesday at the United Nations in meetings with key foreign leaders to continue pushing foreign policy objectives in the Middle East and North Africa.

His schedule included one-on-one talks with the chairman of Libya's National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, and Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai, as well as Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff.

Obama also addressed a meeting of the Libya Contact Group, telling the gathered leaders including U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon that the NATO-led military campaign in Libya that helped oust Moammar Gadhafi from power was an example of modern global cooperative action.

      Good Idea! Just make sure Obama stays on the ship. He needs to save the country and go down with the ship straight to H_ _ L.

    What hipocrysy ! We support all the kings, despots and destroy socialists in Middle East. UN is a joke and no American taxpayer money should go to it -we are broke according to Boston University Professor Kotlicoff , an economist. He estimates that our total government indebtness is , are you ready ?- $211 TRILLION, yes trillions. Why are we being lied to by our leadership and spend money we do not have on ENDLESS, useless wars? They all lie.
