I'm NOT WEAK: Obama answers critics in West Point speech and insists the US must lead the world by example – 'If we don't, no one else will'
28 May 2014

'I believe in American exceptionalism with every fiber of my being,' the president insisted
Yet he used the words 'partner' and 'partnership' 16 times in his speech at West Point, outlining a contradictory foreign policy
Obama replaced the phrase 'collective action' – in his prepared remarks – with the words 'multilateral action' several times
Working through NATO and the UN will dominate American foreign policy, Obama said: 'This is American leadership, American strength'

So... invade Iraq?

Honestly, when Obama was first running for the presidency, I liked him. Now though, it seems to be getting worse and worse. >.>

The US leader President Barack Obama tried again this week to hit the reset button on his reputation as America’s guardian of national security.

While the issue plagues his poll ratings and his many speeches crowd out other more fruitful areas for a Democratic president, there he was again on Wednesday at West Point, outlining his foreign policy strategy.

The reception for the speech was dire.

The Washington Post declared that he had “marshaled a virtual corps of straw men,” in making an argument for an “Obama doctrine” that was at odds with every US president since the Second World War.
