Speaking directly to those who have accused his administration of lacking direction on foreign policy, President Obama declared that those who “suggest that America is in decline, or has seen its global leadership slip away are either misreading history or engaged in partisan politics.”
The president’s speech comes one day after announcing the last American soldier will leave Afghanistan by the end of 2016. The president also announced a $5 billion counterterrorism partnership for countries in the Middle East and Africa.
“Today’s principal threat no longer comes from a centralized al Qaeda leadership. Instead, it comes from decentralized al Qaeda affiliates and extremists, many with agendas focused in the countries where they operate,” he said.
Obama also addressed both those who believe the U.S. should step back from its role in the world and those who are clamoring for it to get involved everywhere, explaining “America must always lead on the world stage. But U.S. military action cannot be the only-or even primary-component of our leadership in every instance. Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.” Read more at The New York Times.

Its easy to defend because he has no foreign policy
Actually, ALL of Obama’s extremist left-wing policies are indeed “foreign” to all Americans who value and cherish their liberty and their freedoms.
the new slogan is = YES YOU TRIED , YES YOU FAILED – TIME FOR CHANGE
I don’t trust Mr. Obama. He comes across as being insincere. Very inexperienced & naïve.
