In terms of foreign policy, I think Obama needs to be compared to Bush. I don't think Obama has proven himself capable yet of repairing the damage done by Bush to international relations.
I still laugh when people mention the supposed bowing. Mostly because I think the whole thing is silly.
Anyway, according to your own words, Obama is not qualified or more experienced. So you *should* be a proponent of Obama going into the meetings seen them as equals.
Or is this just a matter of "The United States is better than them so they should praise us"?
