An analysis of Obama foreign policy decision-making from Henry Nau, "Obama Puts the World at Risk."
The major differences in foreign policy between Obama and the loyal
opposition boil down to one word—leadership. Leadership offers vision,
connects means and ends, and rises above politics. Obama has
demonstrated no capacity to do any of those things, either in Congress
or in the world community. The optimistic view is that he will do so now
because he no longer faces reelection. But that seems unlikely. If you
have won two elections as a state senator, one as a U.S. senator, and
two as president, and you still have no significant accomplishments to
show for it, it’s doubtful that your leadership skills will suddenly
emerge in what is presumably your last four years in office.
