CNSNews.com - Obama Administration Won’t Push Needed U.N. Reforms, Experts Say: "Washington (CNSNews.com) – Thus far, President Barack Obama has been almost entirely focused on domestic issues, prompting former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton to say he would give the president a grade of “absent” on foreign policy.

“Even though we’re here focused on domestic issues – health care in particular -- the rest of the world is not hung up on details about the debate of restructuring health care, how we treat immigrants or whether we have a public option or not,” Bolton said.

“Although it’s fair to say that Kim Jong -il probably favors the public option,” Bolton jokingly added, referring to the communist dictator of North Korea.

Bolton was part of a panel Tuesday speaking about problems with the U.N. the week before Obama is to address the U.N. General Assembly in New York City and chair a meeting of the Security Council. The event was sponsored by The Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank that anticipated what would be discussed in Obama’s first U.N. speech."
