The United States is in horrible shape and is in dire need of some serious leadership. Whoever the next president is, they would have to crawl out of a hole to ground level before reaching the sky. At least that was the message to the 500 diplomats from 100 countries and 760 students from 12 high schools from around Colorado, which surrounded me. We were gathered to hear Madeleine Albright and other prominent individuals speak on Enhancing America’s Reputation in the World.
The Rocky Mountain Roundtable was moderated by Tom Brokaw where the panelist painted a desperate picture of America’s foreign policy practices and its current state in the international forum. According to pollster Geoff Garin even American’s have lost faith in US foreign policy and no longer agree that terrorism and war should be at the top of the agenda. Instead they believe that the next president needs to focus on the economy and jobs.
