LONDON (AP) - British Foreign Secretary David Miliband on Saturday accused critics of U.S. President Barack Obama of foolishly expecting him to fix the world's woes single-handedly.
In a speech to London's Fabian Society think tank, Miliband said those sniping at Obama failed to understand the scale of challenges facing the international community, or the shifting power centers of global politics.
Obama has been criticized in recent months over his divisive health care plans and a prolonged decision-making process over whether to send more troops to Afghanistan. He also has been chided for making little headway in promoting Middle East peace, and has been dogged by rising unemployment and a sour economy.
