Obama's foreign policy failures have yet to explode, but when they do . . .

Caroline B. Glick

quotes:
  • His supporters argue that Obama's foreign policy has been a massive success. If he had as much freedom of action on domestic affairs as he has on foreign affairs, they argue, his achievements in all areas would be without peer.
  •  Indeed, a cursory examination of the impact so far of Obama's foreign policies in country after country and region after region indicates that his policies have been more damaging to US national interests than those of any president since Jimmy Carter.
  • So how is that that while Carter was perceived by the majority of the American public as a foreign policy failure, a large plurality of Americans views Obama's foreign policy as a success?
  • First, to date the US has not been forced to contend directly with the consequences of his failures.
  • To date, Obama's foreign policy failures have yet to explode in a manner that can make the average American aware of them.
Comment:

The left ran against Reagan's ideas in the last election.  Carter was rehabilitated.  It should not be surprising then, that we should get the same kind of things from Obama as we got from Carter.  It is just a matter of time before it really does explode.
