I'll speak directly to the one I've been following the most and that is 8: US foreign policy is an embarrassing mess under the Obama administration
It is the opinion of some (many?) that Obama has alienated many of our traditional allies (France, Britain, Israel, etc.) for no reason at all. Yes, he's reaching out to those who are not our traditional allies, which is a good thing, but he's assuming that he can 'coast' on supporting those who are already with us. He has a very pie in the sky view of foreign policy where grand speeches will sway the world rather than down on the ground understanding and work. At least that was how he was till recently. I think he's learned from his last year+ and is being a lot more subdued about foreign policy. But time will tell. And it's all opinion. Every measure of success will be one persons opinion over another. The question is, who's opinion and how many. > Spin, distortion and nonsense. Not a single empirical statement on the > list, just someone's opinion ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:324819 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
