look at egypt. they don't know what the hell the us' position is on egypt, you got different parts of the executive branch talking different directions, some supporting the new regime others not. that's not leadership. but syria encapsulates obama's foreign policy: empty promises. putin then netuered him with an op ed decying american exceptionalism, laughing all the way. obama owns nothing, he backs down and double talks all the time. only once did i think he actually show some leadership in his entire presidency, and that's when he owned the osama takedown (as he should have). but he'll talk about how "the word set a red line. i didn't" but... he did, not the world. you think he's done exceptional international leadership? what are you even talking about? he shirks from everything. he'd be better as canada's president or king or whatever the f**k you people have
