WASHINGTON, April 29 – RIA Novosti. Barack Obama on Wednesday will celebrate the first hundred days of his presidency. Attention to this event in the United States great – America has long been seen more than a popular president. According to the rating agencies, for three-plus months since the inauguration of Obama, the level of his popularity remained unusually stable – the president enjoys the support of 63% of the population. However, the Americans get to know their president and have identified two main features that characterize both his personality and his policies – the softness and garrulity.

Softness and garrulity

From the first days of his stay in the presidential chair, Obama strongly emphasized the difference between their political courses and predecessor, the 43rd U.S. President George W. Bush. Bush, both domestic and foreign policy tended to a variety of tightening – of how the recently discovered, the imposition of additional measures against suspected terrorists, to a policy of isolationism with respect to Iran and North Korea and the dramatic cooling of relations with Russia. Obama has increasingly departed from the practices of his predecessor.

Such a vibrant democracy like ours, should reject the wrong choice between security interests and our ideals, and that is why these methods of interrogation are already a thing of the past – said President, commenting on the recent decision to disclose secret documents of the Ministry of Justice, is a testament to the torture of suspected terrorists under the previous administration.

on their differences from the previous President Obama spoke very willingly, just like everything else, that probably impressed by the Americans who live outside of Washington, but immensely upsetting the presidential pool of correspondents who are forced to actually transmit continuously at the tape and broadcast the longissimus Obama speech on any and all occasions, often word for word duplicate each other, but still remaining presidential speeches.

He said much at all, – smiling, said former U.S. Secretary of State, a veteran of American policy, Madeleine Albright, speaking recently at a conference on security, Obama on the one hundred days in power.

My Rash

first hundred days of the week, Obama engaged in appointing officials to major public office to Russia is simply not reached their hands. Speaking frankly, the administration of Barack Obama has not yet вдавалаÑ ÑŒ deep enough in the political issues related to Russia, – said in February the U.S. Secretary of Defense Robert Gates.

Obama himself, when he was asked by Russia, explained that looks to the warming of relations with Russia, but the details are not reported, referring to the over-employment.

keywords found Vice President Joseph Biden, called restart with Russia, which in English along with grandma, giving and restructuring, a new word – re-re-of-goods-ka.

Since pronouncing the word became a term – in fact it contains the main message – U.S. relations and Russia will be built is now in a different way, not like they were built under Bush.

Understanding Barack Obama, Dmitry Medvedev and the establishment of a new treaty to replace START old, as well as on cooperation in general number of areas, including in matters of nuclear non-proliferation and counter-terrorism in the United States is perceived as a real breakthrough. Obama talks about common interests with Russia, he echoed U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, recently called for Russia among the key partners of the USA.

Then all at the moment, went zamgossekretarya, former Ambassador to Russia William Burns, said in last Monday that the United States is seeking to cooperate with Russia that would like to have missile defense system that is responsive to the interests of both countries.

Key differences between the United States and Russia – two countries differing perceptions of the August events in South Ossetia, negative attitude of Russia U.S. plans to deploy in the Czech Republic and Poland, the elements of missile defense system – in the words of American authorities, the matter is much smaller than the common aspirations – the fight against terrorism, the world finkrizisom, Somali piracy, drug trafficking, the desire to normalize the situation in Afghanistan and Pakistan, the desire to avoid Iran has nuclear weapons.

Words of Americans support and Russian officials. Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak in Washington, speaking on Monday with a big program speech of the Russian-American relations, stressed that the Obame relations between Russia and the United States began to change for the better.

The quest for rapprochement, Ambassador believes, is mutual.

We have to reciprocate for a number of important areas, – told Kislyak, adding that the ground in Russia and the U.S. is much more important than the remaining differences. The main objective of the parties, according to the ambassador, is to overcome stereotypes that hinder the lining of normal bilateral relations.

About Obama a serious desire to build relations with Russia, say, in particular, personnel appointments. As Deputy Minister of Defense for International Security Affairs appointed a former U.S. Ambassador to Moscow Alexander Vershbow. Another former ambassador – William Burns – now a deputy secretary of state for political affairs. U.S. Deputy Secretary of State for verification and compliance with agreements on arms control was the former director of the Carnegie Moscow Center, a well-known specialist on Russia Rose Gottemoeller.

savings instead of the economy

The arrival of Obama to power was marred by growing up the world financial crisis and domestic financial instability, much of the responsibility for which he immediately put on the administration of his predecessor.
