Flashback: Remembering the times Obama claimed, "The tide of war is receding"

This video highlights how wrong Obama has been on foreign policy for the last five years. My favorites are, "Al Qaeda is on the run" and "The tide of war is receding."

Mitt Romney points out he was right about foreign policy...

Spiking the football...

Via Hot Air:

Throughout the course of the campaign, the turnaround artist and blue state Republican issued some dire but necessary warnings to the American public about how the geopolitical environment was changing for the worse.
In 2012, Romney called it “troubling” and “alarming” that Barack Obama had essentially appeased the Russian bear by offering concessions like the withdrawal of interceptor missile and radar installations in Eastern Europe without reciprocity from Moscow. He said that Russia’s actions have made that nation “without question, our number one geopolitical foe.”
This prompted a flood of scorn and mockery from a raft of self-assured critics. But by 2014, after Russia had frustrated America’s ambition to contain the Syrian civil war, invaded neighboring Ukraine, and unilaterally annexed a portion of that nation’s territory into Russia proper, nearly all of Romney’s self-respecting critics were forced to concede that he had a point.
In that campaign and earlier, Romney warned that the Islamist goal was the establishment of a pan-Islamic caliphate state which would counter the West and add a grave new military dimension to the ideological struggle against jihadism.

State Dept Spokeswoman Says Obama “Doesn't Give Himself Enough Credit” On Foreign Policy. Press laughs...

Obama isn't having a very good foreign trip...

Obama is a foreign policy failure because has no credibility.

TOKYO — President Obama encountered setbacks to two of his most cherished foreign-policy projects on Thursday, as he failed to achieve a trade deal that undergirds his strategic pivot to Asia and the Middle East peace process suffered a potentially irreparable breakdown.
Mr. Obama had hoped to use his visit here to announce an agreement under which Japan would open its markets in rice, beef, poultry and pork, a critical step toward the trade pact. But Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was not able to overcome entrenched resistance from Japan’s farmers in time for the president’s visit.
In Jerusalem, Israel’s announcement that it was suspending stalemated peace negotiations with the Palestinians, after a reconciliation between the Palestine Liberation Organization and the militant group Hamas, posed yet another obstacle to restarting a troubled peace process in which Secretary of State John Kerry has been greatly invested.

Obama's foreign policy approval is undergoing a meltdown...

Voters have long disapproved of Obama on economic issues, but he had strength on foreign policy issues. That may now be undergoing a radical change.

Via Politico:

Approval of President Obama’s handling of foreign policy has taken a beating since last month, according to a new NBC/WSJ poll taken after violence erupted last week in Egypt and Libya.

The poll found approval among registered voters dropped to 49 percent, down from from 54 percent a month earlier, NBC’s FirstRead reports. The fall was steeper among independents, going from 53 percent in August to 41 percent. Even support among Republicans dropped eight points — from 19 percent to 10 percent.

New Ad about Obama's Weak Foreign Policy Leadership: Rhetoric vs. Reality

Liz Cheney's Keep America Safe has released this new ad highlighting Obama's tough talk and weak leadership on national defense and foreign policy.

From YouTube:

Barack Obama knows how to give a great speech. But when it comes to America's defense. The rhetoric doesn't match the reality. If you think America's President must act to defend America instead of just talking about it.

Senator Chuck Schumer claims "traditional values" and "strong foreign policy" are over

Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) on MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow show Tuesday night claimed "traditional values and "strong foreign policy" are over. Many Americans feared that when Barack Obama and an overwhelmingly Democratic Congress were elected. The only unexpected thing is Senator Schumer's admission of the truth.

Schumer: 'The Hard Right, Which Still Believes' in 'Traditional Values'...'All That Is Over.'

President Obama brings change to U.S. foreign policy

During his recent trip to Europe, Turkey and Iraq, President Obama presented a radical change in foreign policy. Obama's position is very different from anything Americans have experienced in decades. The repercussions of this policy shift will likely empower our enemies to a new level of boldness. Caroline Glick from The Jerusalem Post sums the changes up.

Like it or not, the United States of America is no longer the world's policeman. This was the message of Barack Obama's presidential journey to Britain, France, the Czech Republic, Turkey and Iraq this past week.

Somewhere between apologizing for American history - both distant and recent; genuflecting before the unelected, bigoted king of Saudi Arabia; announcing that he will slash the US's nuclear arsenal, scrap much of America's missile defense programs and emasculate the US Navy; leaving Japan to face North Korea and China alone; telling the Czechs, Poles and their fellow former Soviet colonies, "Don't worry, be happy," as he leaves them to Moscow's tender mercies; humiliating Iraq's leaders while kowtowing to Iran; preparing for an open confrontation with Israel; and thanking Islam for its great contribution to American history, President Obama made clear to the world's aggressors that America will not be confronting them for the foreseeable future.

Whether they are aggressors like Russia, proliferators like North Korea, terror exporters like nuclear-armed Pakistan or would-be genocidal-terror-supporting nuclear states like Iran, today, under the new administration, none of them has any reason to fear Washington.
