Right Change: “A New Attitude Toward America”

President Obama bestowed upon himself a rather enormous compliment on Monday, saying that during his presidency he has repaired the “frayed” alliances and “suffering” world standing of this country. He says that, thanks to him, people have “a new attitude toward America.” We agree with that last bit, but that definitely doesn’t mean it’s a good attitude. 

You have my track record,” he says. Yes, Mr. President, we do. And it includes such things as failing to act in the face of atrocity in Syria, ignoring the threat of a dangerous communist dictator, bowing unassertively to various world leaders and undermining sanctions implemented over Iran which are meant to keep the world safer, not to mention doing nothing to stop the development of the Iran nuclear program. That’s just a few of the foreign policy problems President Obama has had in four short years.

Most recently added to the list are the leaks of confidential information that could very well jeopardize American national security. Mitt Romney believes that “it betrays our national interest. It compromises our men and women in the field.  And it demands a full and prompt investigation by a special counsel, with explanation and consequence." He continued:

"Whoever provided classified information to the media, seeking political advantage for the administration, must be exposed, dismissed, and punished. The time for stonewalling is over."

Senator Feinstein, a democrat from California, also believes that these leaks have to be coming from inside the White House.

She says, “I think the White House has to understand that some of this is coming from their ranks.” Hot Air points out that these leaks conveniently seem to serve President Obama well, making him look good. Senator Feinstein does not mean to suggest that they are facilitated by the President, but we have to raise an eyebrow.

Regardless, these leaks are a breach of security with regards to foreign policy and international relations and are occurring right under the President’s nose. This, among the other foreign policy errors and oversights listed above, makes the President’s track record seem less than stellar. Four more years of Barack Obama’s international naïveté and false sense of control could prove to be, without exaggeration, catastrophic. So, yes, we agree with Barack. President Obama has successfully changed the international attitude toward America: for the worse.
