President Obama & The Unitied Nations

This month President Obama will take a more active role with and at the UN.
Two links one is fairly biased the other more politically neutral, either way Obama is stepping up the power of the UN just by doing this. And if you have read my other blogs you now why this is news worthy.

Boston.com under it's "Political Intelligence" section had this to say

WASHINGTON -- President Obama has planned a whirlwind 2 1/2 day schedule at the United Nations later this month, going well beyond the traditional routine for US presidents.

In addition to the annual speech at the opening of the UN General Assembly on Sept. 23, the same day Obama will host a luncheon for African heads of state and hold a separate gathering for the largest contributors to peacekeeping. The next day, he will preside over an unusual summit meeting of the Security Council on arms control. In addition, Obama will speak at the Secretary General's Climate Change Summit.

"We are taking a new approach to the United Nations," UN ambassador Susan Rice told reporters today, adding: "We're rolling up our sleeves" to push for changes from within rather than "criticizing from the outside."
