I'm perfectly happy with Bloomberg's take. Via Taegan-
With President Obama back from an eight day foreign trip, the New York Times looks for clues of an "emerging Obama grand strategy" but doesn't find one, recognizing "that may have been the point. Pragmatic, conciliatory, legalistic and incremental, he pushed what might be called, with a notable exception or two, an anti-Bush doctrine."
Of course, "looking for a grand strategy, a coordinated plan to use American power for broad goals in the world, is always risky. Anyone who tried to discern one 77 days into the Bush administration in 2001, months before the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, would have gotten it completely wrong."
However, Bloomberg says Obama tried to communication a simple message to the world: "America is ready to listen, consult and cooperate."
