Obama's position on the Foreign Policy

Barack Obama is for border security although he does not seem too concerned about securing our borders. He believes that we must secure our borders first though. We then have to address the issue of the number of illegal immigrants that are coming into our country and obtaining a job. Obama feels that we need to then address the immigrants that are living here and that he does not support the whole process of those getting citizenship in the U.S. He then feels that immigrant should try to be accounted for and those that are now illegally living here need to pay for their citizenship as well as paying a fine. Barack Obama is concerned about the financial cost that the Iraq war but in the end would like to put an end to it. He feels that the Iraq war has gone on long enough and we have made out point about how strong we are as a country. To end the war would bring a lot of peace back to the United States and have unity back in the U.S. Obama is in for the ‘destruction of an entire country and it’s race of people.’ Furthermore, in this race, he will vote for policy and use trade agreements that ensure fair trade and improves environmental standards. Some people argue with the idea of this policy and it will destruct our nations standards by limiting our trading route to higher standards that Obama wants. He was pro-Palestinian when he was in Illinois before he ran for the state Senate, during he ran--during the state Senate. Now he's, he's supporting the Israeli destruction of the tiny section called Gaza with a million and a half people. Barack Obama's views on Israel and the possibilties of peace between it and the Palestinians are both tough-minded and deeply comprehending. I don't at all think that I'd be disappointed with an Obama presidency, and certainly not with his attitude towards the Jewish State. He is also not massaging Jewish audiences when he observes -- correctly -- that Israelis are, in general, far more various in their views on the security situation than American Jews or American Jewish organizations... [Obama's views on Israel] are not mine exactly. But they are enough like mine to let me sleep calmly (http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/nod /8247). Obama is offering the most sweeping liberal foreign-policy critique we've heard from a serious presidential contender in decades. It cuts to the heart of traditional Democratic timidity. "It's time to reject the counsel that says the American people would rather have someone who is strong and wrong than someone who is weak and right," Obama said in a January speech. "It's time to say that we are the party that is going to be strong and right."
All of these sources are reputable because they are coming from Obama’s main campaign page and describe exactly what he is doing and what his beliefs are on everything. My response towards everything is the idea that the war is that it needs to end. I do agree with Obama as far as that goes. My stance on immigration needs to be a bit more firm. I think that our borders need to be more controlled. I believe that immigration is very important in finding a way to secure our borders will help out more with this. As far as Iran, Pakistan, Israel, etc. the United States needs to do whatever they can to make sure they are open to all other countries and not focusing just on themselves. ohttp://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?article=the_obama_doctrine
