#1 "fundamentally having no plan" I disagree. His plan was & is to ignore foreign policy to the greatest possible extent, while ramming through his agenda and creating a permanent Democratic supermajority.

#2 And all the while, the media hardly noticed.

#3 It wasn't they didn't notice. They deliberately covered up and ignored the facts.

#4 ION WAFF, CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > US WILL LEAD THE WORLD FOR NEXT 100 YEARS | [WaPo] OBAMA SAYS US WILL LEAD THE WORLD FOR NEXT 100 YEARS, CHINA DISAGREES.

IMO more likely a UK-Style "slow decline", espec iff the US unilater rolls itself back across the world towards CONUS-NORAM, + finds itself giving up sovereign territories, Overseas + CONUS-based, to Geopol Wannabes.

E.g. the Globies may have no qualms about PCOrrectly-Deniably surendering GUAM-WESTPAC to China, + behind China to NUCLEAR ISLAM?, as per US-China mutually "Sharing Asia-Pacific/Pacific", as long as the US still has Hawaii - unfortunately for the Globies, as per CHINA MILBLOGS CHINA WANTS HAWAII AS WELL FOR ITSELF.

Once again, to paraph Krauthammer,"SAY IT WID ME, AMERIKA, OOOOOOOOOPPPPPSSSSSSIES".

* Also from CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [AFP] US SWAY IN ASIA IMPERILED AS CHINA CHALLENGES ALIANCES.

#5 Apparently fancy speeches can't dupe everyone forever. Who would have thought. Personally I think his foreign policy was 'not Bush' with the deluded feeling that the US was the problem and such an approach would make the world better and the US beloved.

#6 At best it made him look more impotent.
