What's the Deal With Team Obama's Foreign Policy?

The world is aflame with crises.
  • Russia has invaded Ukraine and is shooting down airplanes
  • Hamas is firing missiles into Israel from the Gaza Strip (again)
  • Syria is in civil war, and the number of casualties has 6 digits
  • Islamist terrorists have captured a huge chunk of Iraq, and the country has split apart into 3 pieces
  • rebel groups have clobbered oil production in North Africa
  • Red China is laying claim to oceans that rightfully belong to her neighbors
  • The Taliban have started to reclaim Afghanistan
  • Iran is marching towards a nuclear weapon
  • North Korea keeps test launching ballistic missiles capable of hitting Japan and South Korea
Yet, O is strangely quiescent. Why?
Cuz he genuinely does not care.
Look at the activities O normally engages in:
  • golf
  • concerts at the White House
  • vacations
  • fund raising
Nose to the wheel, shoulder to the grindstone? Not O. He just does not want to. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, it really is that simple. Of the few concrete actions that he has taken, he simply takes the easy way out: signing an executive order to boycott Russia or screaming at the Israeli Prime Minister over the phone to surrender (now can I go golfing, Valerie Jarrett?). More than one journalist/commentator has commented that O, like Nero, is fiddling while Rome burns. I find this simile to be quite apropos (c'mon, folks, just Google the words).
Have a nice day.
