“...Obama was stuck in a very difficult spot ...”

BULL!

Nobody made him go anywhere or say anything!

He could have stayed home and outlined his approach to making America and her allies stronger.....but then he clearly has NO INTEREST in THAT agenda!

[Robert DeLong]

Obama was stuck in a very difficult spot with so many competing interests looking onto the speech that it would have simply been impossible for him to please everyone

Yep so he decided to please no one and he succeeded beyond expectations.
