How can people say Obama does not appear weak to the world?

Bush, dislike him, hate him, or really hate him, kept Americans safe. After 9/11, he put his foot down, and terrorists knew they couldn't get away with their actions on US soil, so they took them elsewhere. Nobody wanted to **** with George.

However, since Obama has been in office, terrorists released from Guantanamo have attempted to attack US aircrafts again, and US soldiers were shot and killed on a military base on US soil. This is within the last YEAR of Obama being president.

Not to mention the fact that he's so preoccupied with his leftist idealogies that he refuses to acknowledge Iran's approach to nuclear weaponry, or the fact that they recently took an oil field in Iraq. Where was all his talk of liberty and individual rights when the corrupt government rigged an Iranian election? Was he fast to respond, quick to tell Ahmadenijad(sp) he wasn't gonna put up with it? Or even that the United States so much as frowned upon the actions of the Iranian government?

He continues to talk about his would-be sit-downs with foreign leaders.

Can any of you lefties defend this?

Can any of you righties rationalize this?

    I'm surprised they can say it even if their Kool-Aid isn't spiked with grain alcohol.

    Editorial writers around the world are showing total disdain for this fraud.

    We would try to defend it Chicken Little, but once again it seems the ones who are doing the least to honestly try to make things better stand by and do nothing but criticize. I will tell you this, the sky is not falling. Maybe instead of doing nothing you could offer some suggestions on how to make things better. To all the right wingers, if you are not part of the solution you are the problem. The difference I see between you and the people on the left (I myself am proudly in the middle) is at least the lefties would be willing to listen to what somebody has to say, but where anybody other than the some other right wingers opinion is all the other side wants to hears. Sure I'll get lots of neg votes for this one. Yea me.

    Fact: Bush released the men who trained this nut job. Fact: Bush released many "terrorist" from Gitmo. you should brush up on some facts. Fact:Bush WAS President BEFORE 9/11 3.000 American lives lost. You really should do some research so you dont have to be schooled. Chuck/Bob, had Regan not armed the Taliban would this even be an issue?

    he does not appear weak in front of the world

    he is using diplomacy where it is needed to avoid world war 3 ..

    or maybe you`d prefer to be at war with russia and china when you interfere with their oil supplies from Iran

    Source(s): Russia has made it clear it will tollerate no aggresion towards Iran
