OBAMA"S AMERICAS' TRIP

Baracak Obama's trip to Trinidad to the conference of the America's was a huge success. The trip helped define the new Obama doctrine, which upholdss American exceptionalism but recognizes that America is still one among many nations in the world. Acknowledging America's supremacy and power and at the same time showing respect to other nations are not mutually excusive things. But the right wing in America are up in arms against Obama for extending curtesies to Hugo Chavez and Raul Castro. The right has also lambasted President Obama for not hitting back at Sandinista leader Daniel Ortega who used the occasion to ferociously attack Washington for its imperialistic ways towards Latin America. President Obama rejected such criticism as misplaced, noting that these are relatively small countries that pose no threat to American power and security in any way.
