Obama at the UN: Rhetoric and Reality

Posted at the Tunnel Wall:
Obama has lacked any real strategy and relied instead on rhetoric in approaching the Israel-Palestinian question"President Obama’s UN speech marked the culmination of perhaps the most counter-productive American foreign policy in memory. A president who came into office with a Palestinian state as one of his top priorities, criticizing his predecessor for not having devoted greater attention to it, was still trying after nearly three years simply to get negotiations started; he had accomplished the unusual feat of alienating both Israelis and Palestinians in the process; he had diminished his own stature and reduced the influence of the United States in the region; and he ended up faced with having to veto a Palestinian state." Pajamas Media

These were all the errors of an inexperienced amateur. Obama has lowered the world's opinion not only of the office of the American president but- I am afraid-of the American people who chose this pop-culture figure to be our president. This man was foisted upon us by academia, celebrities, PC media and check stand magazines. At the end of a "Law & Order" episode as DA McCoy exited a press conference a voice from the crowd called, "Will you be in the Obama Administration?"
