WHITE HOUSE - U.S. President Barack Obama says his administrationhas laid the foundation for a new era of American leadership in theworld. The president Wednesday incorporated re-election campaignthemes into a commencement speech at the U.S. Air Force Academy. The president told more than 1,000 academy graduates at a footballstadium in Colorado Springs, Colorado, that he believes the worldhas "a new feeling about America." "I see it everywhere I go, from London and Prague, to Tokyoand Seoul, to Rio and Jakarta.
There is a new confidence in ourleadership," he said. Obama claimed that immense progress has been made in the four yearssince the graduates entered the academy, which have coincided withhis time in the White House. He said Americans are no longer fighting in Iraq, al-Qaida leaderOsama bin Laden is no longer a threat, and the United States cannow see clearly how the war in Afghanistan will end. "Today, we can say with confidence and pride, the UnitedStates is stronger, safer and more respected in the world.
Becauseeven as we have done the work of ending these wars, we have laidthe foundation for a new era of American leadership." The president said the end of the two wars will relieve stress onthe U.S. military, and that America is using other sources of power- diplomatic, economic and humanitarian. Some of Obama's statements were a rebuttal to his presumedRepublican challenger in the November election, Mitt Romney, whohas questioned the president's belief in America's strength. Obama said the United States is exceptional, and will always be"the one indispensable nation in world affairs." "I see an American century because no other nation seeks therole that we play in global affairs, and no other nation can playthe role that we play in global affairs. That includes shaping theglobal institutions of the 20th century to meet the challenges ofthe 21st," he said.
The president also reassured the new Air Force officers that theU.S. will maintain its military superiority in the world, despiteRomney's claims that Obama is weakening America's forces. The Air Force Academy was the first stop on a two-day presidentialtrip that combines official business with election campaigning. From Colorado Springs, Obama was headed for a campaign fundraisingevent in Denver, Colorado, three more in California and another inthe central state of Iowa. The president is reported to have a significant fundraising lead,but Romney is said to be closing the gap quickly.
With less than six months to go before the election, mostnationwide public opinion polls show the two candidates nearlyeven. I am Bag & Luggage Agents writer, reports some information about rubber bumper feet , braided gas hose.
