Obama and Foreign Policy

[delldude]

What has our community organizer done to repair our foreign policy which was run through the paper shredder by the evil Cheney/Bush team?

The Obama Administration spent much of the week looking to quell concerns voiced by European leaders over alleged widespread spying by the National Security Agency that has sparked outrage across the globe.

On Thursday, The Guardian reported that the U.S. government was monitoring the communications of 35 world leaders in 2006.
That report came on the heels of a story in Le Monde indicating the NSA has secretly monitored millions of French emails earlier this year. German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she had reason to believe that American intelligence was surveilling her personal cell phone, accusing the U.S. of shattering trust between the nations. And Der Spiegel reported that the U.S. had hacked former Mexican president Felipe Calderon's email account.

Upset at President Barack Obama's policies on Iran and Syria, members of Saudi Arabia's ruling family are threatening a rift with the United States that could take the alliance between Washington and the kingdom to its lowest point in years.
Saudi Arabia's intelligence chief is vowing that the kingdom will make a 'major shift' in relations with the United States to protest perceived American inaction over Syria's civil war as well as recent U.S. overtures to Iran, a source close to Saudi policy said on Tuesday.

Mideast: "Throughout the Middle East, we must harness American power to reinvigorate American diplomacy," said candidate Obama.

We can now add Saudi Arabia to the list of his diplomatic failures as president.
The Middle East is gradually falling apart with Barack Obama as leader of the free world.
America's relationship with Israel has never been worse. Our key ally Egypt was propelled into revolution and its future remains unclear after our president's "New Beginning" speech at Cairo University in 2009. That address also helped ignite destabilizing upheavals in Tunisia, Libya and Yemen, plus uprisings or demonstrations in a half-dozen other Islamic countries.
The direct, top-level contact Obama now has with the Iranians, after four and a half years of dithering, seems to be a new, dangerous chapter in the Islamofascist state's deft string-along of the West.

(CNN) -- America's foreign policy has gone into a tailspin. Almost every major initiative from the Obama administration has run into sharp, sometimes embarrassing, reverses. The U.S. looks weak and confused on the global stage.
This might come as happy news to some opponents of the administration who enjoy seeing Barack Obama fail, but it shouldn't.
America's failure in international strategy is a disaster-in-the-making for its allies and for the people who see the U.S. model of liberal democracy as one worth emulating in their own nations.

Still, trying to count the ways in which foreign policy has gone badly for Obama makes for a stunningly long list.http://www.cnn.com/2...-obama-mideast/
