Al Jazeera English podcasts@aljazeera.net no Al Jazeera English As laws approving gay marriage and legalising marijuana are passed, we ask if the US is becoming more socially liberal. Inside Story US 2012, discusses with guests: Irin Carmon, Frank Schaeffer and Matt Lewis. Some are painting the the US elections as a major victory for a progressive vision of America. President Barack Obama was re-elected despite attempts by Republicans to paint him as an angry, socialist liberal, African-American infringing on religious rights. For the first time in US history, gay marriage was legalised by popular vote in three states. And in another first for the country, two states legalised marijuana for recreational use. http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1957830202001_WEB-INS-US-1038-09.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1957743692001 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 14:01:57 +0300 2089 us,aljazeera,Irin Carmon,republicans,democrats,Frank Schaeffer,arizona,Barack Obama,Washington,Helped Found the Religious Right,Matt Lewis,shihab rattansi,insidestoryUS2012,youtube,the daily caller,election2012,mitt romney,Florida,Crazy for God: How I Grew Up as One of the Elect,rape,African-Americans,and Lived to Take All (or Almost All) of it Back,Hillary Clinton,US2012,al Jazeera,Jo Biden <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/insidestoryus2012HD/~4/_pRyabsiXts" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.aljazeera.net/~r/podcasts/insidestoryus2012HD/~3/_pRyabsiXts/665003303001_1957830202001_WEB-INS-US-1038-09.mp4http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1957830202001_WEB-INS-US-1038-09.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1957743692001http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1957830202001_WEB-INS-US-1038-09.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1957743692001 Al Jazeera English As Barack Obama is re-elected, and significant ballot measures passed, we ask what the next four years have in store.

Gil Kerlikowske, president Barack Obama's drug czar, has said that the US war on drugs has not been successful and that "It's very clear we can't arrest our way out of this problem." But despite promises by the president to re-evaluate US drug policies - more than half of Obama's drug control budget continues to go towards law enforcement.

Guests: Ali Gharib, Liz Mair, and Bruce Fein. As the Republican Presidential hopeful concludes his international trip we ask what Mitt Romney's foreign policy would look like if he was elected. For most of the presidential campaign season, foreign policy has barely got a look in as the candidates focus on the troubled economy. But there is another argument as to why international affairs have not featured prominently in Mitt Romney's speeches - simply because his ideas are too similar to his rival, President Barack Obama. When Romney has addressed foreign policy, for example during his speech to American veterans last week, or in Jerusalem on Sunday, he attacked president Obama's leadership. Romney contends that the last few years have been a time of declining influence and missed opportunity for the US. On Afghanistan, he criticises the president for "politicising decisions on troop levels and transition timetables". However both say that their goal is to end combat operations by the end of 2014. The US president and the Republican candidate agree that something should be done to end the conflict in Syria - but neither have provided any real plan other than to criticise Russia for its support of the al-Assad government. Romney refers to Iran as the US's biggest national security threat. During his Jerusalem speech he said that any and all measures must be used to keep Iran from developing a nuclear weapon. He said: "We must not delude ourselves into thinking that containment is an option. We must lead the effort to prevent Iran from building and possessing nuclear weapons capability. We should employ any and all measures to dissuade the Iranian regime from its nuclear course, and it is our fervent hope that diplomatic and economic measures will do so." He also said that he recognises Israel's right to defend itself. But that is Obama's policy as well. So when it comes to foreign policy, what can we expect from a Romney presidency? To discuss this we are joined by Liz Mair, a former adviser to Texas governor Rick Perry; Bruce Fein, a former senior policy adviser to the Ron Paul 2012 presidential campaign; and Ali Gharib, a national security reporter for Think Progress. http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1762949437001_WEB-INSUS2012-0738-31.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1762913603001 Tue, 31 Jul 2012 15:32:39 +0300 1539 bruce fein,aljazeera,US Foreign Policy,liz mair,youtube,Barack Obama,iran,us elections 2012,insidestoryUS2012,Ali Gharib,mitt romney <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/podcasts/insidestoryus2012HD/~4/IjGo9VpSXJU" height="1" width="1"/>http://feeds.aljazeera.net/~r/podcasts/insidestoryus2012HD/~3/IjGo9VpSXJU/665003303001_1762949437001_WEB-INSUS2012-0738-31.mp4http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1762949437001_WEB-INSUS2012-0738-31.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1762913603001http://bc05.ajnm.me/665003303001/665003303001_1762949437001_WEB-INSUS2012-0738-31.mp4?pubId=665003303001&videoId=1762913603001
