Well, it hasn’t worked – from Der Spiegel (for you liberals out there, that is a German – ie, foreign, ie better-than-America-in-your-view – magazine):

Obama’s Nice Guy Act Gets Him Nowhere on the World Stage

When he entered office, US President Barack Obama promised to inject US foreign policy with a new tone of respect and diplomacy. His recent trip to Asia, however, showed that it’s not working. A shift to Bush-style bluntness may be coming.

The Germans may wish for that bit of Bush-style bluntness (we do, too!), but I can assure all and sundry, it isn’t coming. Not from Obama – not unless his wife takes him for a spine transplant. I expect Obama to just go from Bad to Carter in foreign affairs…

Making nice/nice doesn’t cut it in the world – not in a world where wicked people plot evil. As long as there are tyrants in China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela, North Korea and Syria, the key to peace and freedom will be the forceful use of raw, unapologetic, American power.

    “the key to peace and freedom will be the forceful use of raw, unapologetic, American power.”

    nope – the first mission of the military is deterrence, not “forceful use”.

    the best victory is when we dont have to fight to win.

    OO,

    Use of power doesn’t necessarily mean firing a shot. You need to pay close attention to what I say.

    Mark, without the RRL redefining terms and inventing their own definitions, they simply have nothing at all to say.

    Not that that ever stops them from saying it…………

    Obama’s internationa posture has been overtly creepy, s smarmy Eddie Haskell suck-up to those he seems to think will fall for his antics and a flip-off to the historical allies we really need.

    And the utter cluelessness of his administration’s ignorance of protocol, the pawing of the Queen, the subservient bowing to foreign leaders, the eBAY gifting of meaningless and narcissitic trinkets—he is an international embarrassement.

    And that’s before we even GET to his cockamamie policies, which, so far, seem to consist of ducking responsibilities and kissing up to tyrants.

    But the girls did get to see Paris……….
