World Economic Forum

On Feb. 1, Dateline Davos: Obama's World aired on CNN. Christianne Amanour assembled a panel of world leaders to discuss whether or not they believe that President Obama will change the world.



Kenyan Prime Minister said, when asked about Obama that "he said he was extending a hand of friendship to the rest of the world.



The French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner responded by saying "we want to work with President Obama."



When asked about President Obama, Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki made it clear that Bush's ideals hurt America's image overseas by responding that "Mr. Obama should distinguish and introduce its differences with -- its policies with President Bush and which aspect he has differences with President Bush. We should know the approaches of President Obama. And we should know the differences between two gentlemen's approaches"



The world certainly seems hopeful about America's new president. It's a sense of hope that we can definitely use right now.
