Davos Open Forum 2010 - "Yes We Can?"

http://www.weforum.org 30.01.2010
US President and Nobel Peace Laureate Barack Obama awoke high expectations with his slogan "Yes, we can!" After one year of presidency, it can be seen where President Obama has introduced political innovation and where he has not.

To what extent has the impact of the financial and economic crisis been curbed in the US?

What are the relations between the US and the Arab countries?

To what extent has the international political situation on climate changed due to the new position of the US?

Does the Nobel Prize favour or harm Obama's Administration?

This session is co-organized with the Federation of Swiss Protestant Churches (SEK-FEPS).

World Economic Forum -

Just another big meeting for world leaders and billionaires coupled with luxurious hotels, expensive dinners, millions of dollars spent through preparation, electricity, and transport costs. Also, fancy dancing and top-class wine followed after the expensive dinners.

Further Included -

big fat men whose pockets bulge with money talking about either nonsense politics, or their own jumbled up perspective of the world.

Oil addicts ruin everything worldwide. Puppets of the automobile / oil / asphalt / construction industry, free yourselves. We would all prefer a garden of eden over this suffocating ocean of poisonous asphalt and concrete. Gangster cartels built this wasteful ugly atrocity of a world and enslaved everyone to it's stupid automobile slavery design. Zombies, wake up. Free yourselves from your corporate-designed slavery. CarFree . com ... End war. War profiteers are crooks.

This is all blablabla. When are we going to see real action on the part of these European "leaders" paid millions per year. Do they really care or do they come here for show. It really looks like a show just by the way the present each other. This is our money in ther and it should be better spent through action.

@papavalium : Even if I'm not from US, I do respect Obama, so I guess your statement have just been proven to be false.
