Albright: “Be patient”
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright discussed her new book “Memo to the President: How We Can Restore America’s Reputation and Leadership” at Georgetown University. She said that unlike previous presidents, President-Elect Obama is going to “inherit the entire emergency room and patient #1 is the economy.” Dr. Albright advised that Obama find a set of balances for all sorts of policies that the Bush administration has allowed to fall to extremes. She advised balance of credit lending in America, and of the government’s involvement in other financial institutions. Albright also talked about a multilateral foreign policy that would make North Korea abandon their nuclear program, stop Iran from expanding theirs, begin to withdraw troops from Iraq, and end genocide in Darfur and the civil war in the Congo. She warned that America must “be patient,” however, and that Obama has a lot more on his plate than many realize.
