WASHINGTON — With a Republican opponent all but chosen and the general election campaign about to start, President Obama is preparing to emphasize an issue that few Democratic candidates have embraced in the past: national security, long the domain of the Republican Party.

---“Barack Obama’s position in foreign policy is substantively stronger than that of any other Democratic candidate in recent memory,” said David Rothkopf, the chief executive and editor at large of the Foreign Policy Group.---

In what parallel universe?

The Great Appeaser has cut our deployed nuclear warheads by 70% (from 5600 to 1600) with his New START Treaty (ratified by Senate in 2011) while our enemies are rearming. He gives billions in foreign aid to our enemies while insulting our historic allies. He backs Muslims over Christians in every case, and Marxists over free democracies in every case.

But the odds are good that the American people will buy right in...BHO is an amazingly accomplished liar, and the press will be complicit.

Same thing Clinton did. Took the Republicans' thunder, so to speak. Sounds like obammy is getting re-election advice from the "Bent one"

Whose National Security? Russia's? Iran's? China's?
I do not see any evidence that he is concerned about American national security.

Is that why he gave the treasury to China and Egypt and Libya to al Queda?

He loves it when a plan comes together; he sees the Sanford, Florida thing as his possible opening to declare a national emergency and cancel the elections.

I'm not a foil hat type, but I wouldn't put it past him...he will do anything to hold onto power and he senses that it's slipping away from him.

If he gets another term, we'll never get him out of there.

Lets talk about him ritually sexually molesting the handicapped, elderly and children at the airports. Let’s talk about Bambam’s perverted national security policy where he refuses to name Muslim terrorists but enjoys naming vets of the Iraq war and pro life people terrorists.

Let’s talk about how safe we are with wide open borders and with Mr. Thug running guns to the Mexican drug cartels and refusing to take responsibility for what he’s done. He’s killed border agents and Mexican citizens. He’s left the borders wide open to terrorists.

I won’t get into what he’s done with his pals, the Muslim Brotherhood, or how many military incursions Mr. peace prize has gotten involved in. I won’t mention his anti-US military rules of engagement and his pervert sexual social engineering of the military either.

And the deals he’s planning with his pals in Russia will be great./s/
