 * Foreign Aid:**
 * Obama has a plan to “revitalize” US foreign aid programs, which have been marginalized since the end of the cold war.
 *  Obama on Wednesday recovered a policy directive that defines the pursuit of global development as a “core pillar of American power.” Under the directive, development and foreign assistance are for the first time elevated to the level of key factors in US national security and economic policy.
 * Obama told representatives of more than 145 countries attending the Millennium Development Goals Summit that the new policy would promote global development for the 21st century. It will be focused more on economic growth and the “democratic governance” that fosters human potential, than on old assistance models that too often simply managed misery.
