President Obama at the U.N. General Assembly

This week, President Obama is traveling to New York for the U.N. General Assembly. Yesterday, he participated in the Open Government Partnership event [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/09/20/president-obama-open-government-essence-democracy ], reiterating our commitment to making governments more open, transparent and accountable to their citizens. He also addressed a meeting of international partners to show support for the new Libya [ http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2011/09/20/president-obama-un-libya-we-will-stand-you ] and plan for a post-Qaddafi future.
