David Rothkopf, writing his blog on FP, grades Obama's foreign policy efforts after 6 months in office. On this assessment, it might be said that the old axiom most children get at school - "could do better"! - applies in just about all areas of Obama's foreign policy endeavours.
"As indicated late last week by the first half of my foreign policy report card, President Obama has put a first class team in place to manage his international agenda and so far they are working well together. But what about the policies themselves? It's early yet, of course, but it's worth asking-where have they made their mark and what kind of marks is that likely to get them."
