    Is it hard to tell an allie from an enemy?  Or demonstrators from terrorists?

    Obama likes to tout his foreign policy successes.  Really?  Have you been paying attention to the violence aimed at both this nation and Obama himself since the anniversary of 9-11.  Very title of this was the result of a film clip.  How many have forgotten what we all should remember - the events of 9-11 eleven years ago.  As recently as yesterday, Obama himself was still hanging on the film clip line.  Appeasement isn't a foreign policy and it will always result in failure.

    Yes, it is very hard...if you are a democrat. Apparently this administration thinks the Ft. Hood Shooting Is Still Just “Work Place Violence”, Tea Party (no arrests) is a racist astro turf group and "occupy wall street" are grass roots patriots (many arrested for violence), and although they eventually had to concede to the facts that Libya was a terrorist act they are still publically acting as if it was caused by a video no one saw which has been their narrative even from before it occurred and now they're spending tax payer money to run commercials to that effect in Pakistan!...Someone should tell Obama that country can't vote for him.

      I am very excited to vote this year as I am confident that we have a chance to vote Obama out.

      Aaron - Make sure you take 5 people to the polls with you with that thought in mind.

      I honestly don't give a damn what is going on in the rest of the world. Let's just get out of there if they don't like us. What are we supposed to do? Bomb them to hell because they don't like us?

    His "foreign policy" is reminiscent of Neville Chamberlain. That didn't turn out so well now, did it?

      Neither did the one who came after. Britain was in rubble, bankrupted by the war, and it lost its entire empire. That's why Churchill lost re-election in 1945.

    To me, it is not hard to tell the difference.  The distinction between the two is action.  Protesters in America have done so peacefully for generations.  If one does not believe that statement, just look to all the protests lead by Dr. King.  What is going on in the middle east right now is not protests.  It is organized violence, i.e. terrorism.  The headline on AOL today shows hundreds burning American flags and according to the article “effigies of Obama”.  Perhaps, I’m just out of the loop, but has anyone heard of the specific individuals out of the group of over 400 so called protesters who actually killed our four guys being caught, proven guilty, tried, anything?  Is the idea just to let it slide because they were upset?
    Let’s apply the question to what is happening in Afghanistan.  Our guys are being turned on and dropped by those who are supposed to be our allies.  You know the ones, the ones we trained and armed that are now shooting our guys and saying it was because they blew their nose.  If someone kills you or your buddy, they are not allied with us, no matter what they say.  Of course, that leads to our so called elected leader.  If we look to his actions, well, we really come up with the same conclusion.  His actions are more in support of those slaughtering Americans that in support of America.
    Protesters don’t drag the still warm corpses of their murdered victims through the streets taking pictures and dancing in glee.  It’s the dance of terrorism!  Protesters carry signs, not guns.

    All Obama has to do is say no more millions, or is it billions we are giving them to help their evil causes? I bet they would straighten up fast. Any good president would at least try instead of apologizing to them that someone made them mad! Does it not worry Americans to see this president seem so unconcerned?

    Yeah, easy. Our allies will be the ones who are NOT busting out our embassies. The rest are bad guys...nuke 'em from orbit.

    Nothing new to see here folks.  Move along now.  Obama's foreign Pulitzer--uh, policy was cast in concrete the moment he turned the Libyan/Ghadaffi  problem over to our allies plus Hillary and headed off to keep his vacation date in Hawaii.
