And while the Administration has not held an energy summit as it did for health care, Obama has had an easier time hiring and confirming staff on the environmental front than on the economy or health-care fronts. For example, Obama's special adviser for green jobs...

...global disputes, these should be settled through international cooperation. In other words we have to take a U.N.-centered approach to solve such problems. I think President Obama and his administration also supports this kind of approach. The Bush administration started wars in Afghanistan and in Iraq without any consensus in the international community. At this point in time the United States has reconfirmed and recognized the fact that such disputes will not be settled by a single country. In other words, when it comes to an exercise of power by the United States alone, then Japan is not able...
