Obama- An Amateur on the World Stage

[101ABN]

"President Bush may not have been greatly loved on the world stage, but he was respected by America’s allies, and feared by his enemies. In marked contrast, Obama hasn’t generated a lot of respect abroad, and he certainly isn’t feared." ~ Niles Gardiner UK Telegraph

Internationally Obama screwed up badly. You can start with Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Libya, Russia, Iran, China, etc. We are reaping results of his diplomacy or lack of there off. Almost everything he touched turned into fertilizer.

‘AMATEUR HOUR’: Krauthammer slams Obama’s sudden decision to delay Syria strike

Immediately following his statement from the Rose Garden on Saturday, which President Barack Obama said he would delay a strike on Syria until seeking authorization from Congress, Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer took to Fox News to slam the president.

Krauthammer criticized Obama for the way he has handled the unfolding of events surrounding the crisis in Syria.

“[T]he most astonishing thing is the lack of any urgency,” Krauthammer said. “As you say, Congress will be back in a week. He says, ‘I can strike in a day or a week or a month,’ as if he is a judge handing down a sentence and the execution can be any time in the future. There is a war going on. Do you think everybody is going to hold their breath, hold their arms, step aside until Obama decides when he wants to go to Congress?

Obama is trying to save himself from making decision on Syria. By dealing with congress, he has somebody to blame if things go south.
