Presidentin' is Hard
for some more than others...
The reviews of Obama’s performance have been disappointing. He has seemed uncomfortable in the role of leading other nations, and often seems to suggest there is nothing special about America’s role in the world. The global community was puzzled over the pictures of Obama bowing to some of the world’s leaders and surprised by his gratuitous criticisms of and apologies for America’s foreign policy under the previous administration of George W. Bush. One Middle East authority, Fouad Ajami, pointed out that Obama seems unaware that it is bad form and even a great moral lapse to speak ill of one’s own tribe while in the lands of others.
They are no longer dazzled by his rock star personality
and there is a sense that there is something amateurish and even incompetent about how Obama is managing U.S. power. For example, Obama has asserted that America is not at war with the Muslim world. The problem is that parts of the Muslim world are at war with America and the West.
Had enough?
Vote Conservative.“... America is not at war with the Muslim world. The problem is that parts of the Muslim world are at war with America and the West.”
Like they say, it takes two to make peace, but only one to make war.
“... often seems to suggest there is nothing special about America’s role in the world.”
He said as much at the G20 - something like, no one country should be better than another.
