British Paper: BARACK OBAMA: THE WEAKEST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY?
INEFFECTUAL, invisible, unable to honour pledges and now blamed for letting Gaddafi off the hook. Why Obama's gone from 'Yes we can' to 'Er, maybe we shouldn't'...
The British paper Daily and Sunday Express says:
(Quote)Let us cast our minds back to those remarkable days in
November 2008 when the son of a Kenyan goatherd was elected to the
White House. It was a bright new dawn - even brighter than the
coming of the Kennedys and their new Camelot. JFK may be considered
as being from an ethnic and religious minority - Irish and Catholic
- but he was still very rich and very white. Barack Obama, by
contrast, was a true breakthrough president. The world would change
because obviously America had changed.
Obama's campaign slogan was mesmerisingly simple and brimming with
self-belief: "Yes we can." His presidency, however, is turning out
to be more about "no we won't." Even more worryingly, it seems to
be very much about: "Maybe we can… do what, exactly?" The
world feels like a dangerous place when leaders are seen to lack
certitude but the only thing President Obama seems decisive about
is his indecision. What should the US do about Libya? What should
the US do about the Middle East in general? What about the
country's crippling debts? What is the US going to do about
Afghanistan, about Iran? " (unquote)
So Public Advocate asks this foreign policy question: Dear Brits and Frenchies, how about showing America how its done for a change? Is it possble that you take up the slack since our White House is obviously busy at the time with Golf, picking college football teams and vacations in Rio?
