If Obama Can’t Pick Friends? How is He Going to Pick US Allies?
Trust But Verify-Ronald Reagan
In the end, foreign policy is based on building trust. After all is said and done, after all of those lower level meetings, when the President of the United States finally meets with a foreign leader, he has to look in the leader’s eyes and believe what they are saying, and believe that their personal relationship will be good for America.
Barack Obama isn’t very good at that. Jim Johnson is just one more example of Obama’s lack of skill in this area. You can add people like Jeremiah Wright and Tony Rezko to the list also. The issue really is if Obama cannot pick his FRIENDS? How is he going to pick allies for the US?
