Republicans think President Obama’s approach to foreign policy is “weak” and “indecisive,” but without his approach, the “Arab Spring” would not be happening, the Iranians would not be negotiating with he rest of the world to end their nuclear program, and the Iraq and Afghanistan wars would still be ongoing. The precision with which Obama conducts foreign policy is actually breathtaking. It’s why he got rid of bin Laden when the Republicans couldn’t (or didn’t want to), and why Ghadaffy is gone.

“Macho” posturing and declaring that America has the biggest balls is not a basis for foreign policy. And frankly, the effusive praise Republicans are heaping on President Putin, at the same time they denigrate President Obama, is beyond unseemly. It’s disgusting, and it’s part of a pattern of putting the GOP ahead of the country. It’s shameful.
