OBAMA is not "half stepping" at all. When he says that YES WE CAN reshape and re-set relations between the U.S. and Arab/Muslim world; the Latin American World, the European World, The Asian World, and every other "world " not mentioned here; it is hard for PEOPLE not admire his intentions and trips abroad to present his message. It is better to have a world not POUT or SHAKE A FIST at US, but instead SMILE, SHAKE OUR HANDS, Open their doors and let us in to see their world from a different perspective. Let the world know that our intentions are genuine and not disingenious in any form---Understand their cultures, not try to change it, show them respect and we will earn it---not by forcing it or buying it. They will get it, and slowly attitudes will change, thereby reducing tensions and hard feelings. OBAMA has brought a breath of fresh air to this thinking---and the WORLD knows it and appreciates it. Walk and talk softly--the world knows you carry the BIG STICK in your backpack! ;)
