This article took me by surprise when I found it.
Obama's nice guy act goes nowhere in the world stage
Quote:
When he entered office, US President Barack Obama promised to inject US foreign policy with a new tone of respect and diplomacy. His recent trip to Asia, however, showed that it's not working. A shift to Bush-style bluntness may be coming.
[...]
The mood in Obama's foreign policy team is tense following an extended Asia trip that produced no palpable results. The "first Pacific president," as Obama called himself, came as a friend and returned as a stranger. The Asians smiled but made no concessions.

Well, I, for one, wouldn't like to see a "GWB" like change, but a "Slick Willie" one could be nice. Just skip the Monica-gate and the impeachment please...
