On foreign policy, Obama has talked softly and carried a big stick.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The Obama foreign policy, in broad strokes, has been a disaster.
Foreign policy exactly suits Obama's strong points as a leader, which turn out not to be giving the masses a clear sense of direction and hope, but instead exercising good judgment on a case-by-case basis while thinking many steps ahead of the present moment.
It's a strong country, but Mr. Obama seems to be doing everything he can to hold it back.
Barack Obama has talked a lot about changing the way America relates to the world, and few areas are as ripe for reform as our policies on foreign aid.
Obama's foreign policy has three parts: Abandon our allies, appease our enemies, and apologize for America.
I shook Obama's hand and I said, 'I want to be your friend.' My hand is still outstretched. I am not Obama's enemy, but it's difficult not see imperialism in Washington. Those who don't see it don't want to see it, like the ostrich.
Obama behaves like a centrist who leans tentatively left on certain social programs but boldly right on military force and civil liberties.
Internationally, President Obama has adopted an appeasement strategy. He believes America's role as leader in the world is a thing of the past. I believe a strong America must - and will - lead the future.
The best example of Obama's success in foreign policy is Iran.
George Bush has shown great skill at disguising an incredibly weak foreign policy.
