Obama believes he is so great people will just follow his words
Say what you will about Bill Clinton’s foreign policy shortcomings,but for the most part he had the good sense not to squander Ronald Reagan’s legacy of peace through strength.
By contrast,Barack Obama’s foreign policy seems to be predicated on a boundless faith in his own persuasive powers and the naïve notion that our international antagonists are merely misunderstood. Not since Jimmy Carter has American foreign policy been so obsequious or short-sighted.
Rather than isolate Argentine menace Hugo Chavez,President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton have managed the remarkable feat of backing Chavez’s acolyte in Honduras,ousted president Manuel Zelaya,while still eliciting ridicule from Latin America’s most notorious thug.
Obama is guilty of going against his own country. Was Chavez’s suitcases full of cash funnelled via city council politicians into Obama’s campaign?
from “The Chavez-Obama U.N. Plot Against Honduras”by Cliff Kincaid:
“…Tom Hayden,leader of Progressives for Obama……said that he thinks Obama and Chavez are working together on Honduras and have an “understanding,”which he even describes as “collaboration.”The call Chavez made to Shannon suggests that Chavez is calling the shots. ”
”…this would benefit Iran,a terrorist state developing nuclear weapons which is developing a vast network throughout Latin America…
“…If the Obama Administration is,in effect,acting as an agent of Venezuela and Iran in Honduras,such a foreign policy could be described not only as anti American but potentially treasonous,considering that the outcome could be the loss of another country in Latin America to the Chavez brand of communism.
It is time for some investigative reporting…”
