The major foreign policy issues facing the American President are often portrayed by liberal political factions in the context of American interest versus global interest. Anti-capitalist, anti-free trade, and anti-American factions are trying to transform the organizational failures of the United Nations (UN) into a universal referendum on national sovereignty targeted at the United States. With the election of Barack Obama many who champion this cause see a ally. Traditional American values and the Constitution dictate appropriately that American action must always be framed with reference to American interest as the first priority. Where President Obama stands in relation to the international “Right To Protect “ movement (R2P) is a focus of considerable debate. No issue has greater gravity for the future of America.
