The foreign relations with all of our allies has worsened under Obama, and he has weakened the diplomatic strength of the US.

Putin is now the go-to leader in Mid Eastern diplomacy. Obama has strengthened Russia's influence in Europe, by canceling the agreement for Poland's Missile defense shield. Russia and Egypt are becoming friends because Obama is snubbing Egypt for pushing out the Muslim Brotherhood. If transferring US power and influence over to Russia, with his "reset button," is good foreign policy, then by all means, give Obama "high marks."

Iraq's leaders are becoming closer with Iran, Afghanistan's leader now despises the US, Egypt is snubbed by Obama and is establishing ties with Russia. Every country is finding the US to be a less attractive, less trustworthy, and more erratic partner, because of Obama's terrible foreign policy decisions.

Bush referred to killing every new terrorist who pops up as swatting at flies. It might look like you are keeping busy, but until you clean up the mess that is creating the flies, you'll be swatting flies forever, and accomplishing nothing.

Far from cleaning up the mess in the Mid East, Obama's abysmal foreign policy as president, has weakened our strength and lowered our position in the world; he's presiding over an increasingly destabilized the Mid East.

The mess that is creating the flies is the moral, geographic and diplomatic catastrophe between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River. "Flies" were few and far between until 1948.

The world was a real mess after WWII, and some folks saw it as their responsibility to help. Obviously there have been a lot of mistakes made over the last 60 years, to say the least.

just another example of Obama's failures. Afghan president lashes out at US 'threats'

PARIS (AP) -- Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai lashed out at the United States, accusing it of making threats in the dispute over an agreement to keep U.S. troops in the country beyond 2014.

In an interview published Tuesday by the French daily Le Monde, Karzai says the U.S. is "absolutely" acting like a colonial power in its attempts to force him to sign the bilateral security agreement by the end of this year. The paper quoted him as saying: "The threats they are making, `We won't pay salaries, we'll drive you into a civil war.' These are threats."

Study up.

You're paranoid. Wake up.
