President Obama's Op-Ed to the World

Just before he arrives in Europe for the G-20 summit, President Obama has published an op-ed in dozens of papers around the world. The most striking thing about the piece is how it's noticeably more sophisticated than most of the speeches he makes to the American people. It's almost as if he thinks the rest of the world is smarter than us.
Here's an excerpt:

Our leadership is grounded in a simple premise: We will act boldly to lift the American economy out of crisis and reform our regulatory structure, and these actions will be strengthened by complementary action abroad. Through our example, the United States can promote a global recovery and build confidence around the world; and if the London Summit helps galvanize collective action, we can forge a secure recovery, and future crises can be averted.
