WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Barack Obama faced criticism over his foreign policy from both Democratic and Republican lawmakers on Sunday as he wrestled with crises in Iraq, Syria, Libya and Ukraine.

Republican lawmakers seized on Obama's comment on Thursday when he said, "We don't have a strategy yet" for confronting the Islamic State militant group, saying it suggested indecisiveness.

On Sunday, influential Democrats chimed in with their own critiques of Obama's foreign policy, chiding him for being "too cautious" on Syria, and urging him to do more to help Ukraine resist Russian advances.

Not being a fashion critic but having seen many appropriately dressed powerful men at various important events, I would say this is yet another Barry Obama FU.

Mitt Romney suggested he would have been able to prevent the rise of the jihadist group Islamic State (also known as ISIS or ISIL) if he were elected rather than President Barack Obama in 2012 during a radio interview that aired Sunday.

My thoughts exactly.

It must be my tv...the suit looked like that ugly mustard yellow. The gray is slightly better. But still out of the norm for what is typically worn by people in his position.

A very worth while video to watch. Please take the time to do so. This was not funded by any political faction. It was simply done privately. It deserves to go viral!

No one with a functioning medulla oblongata believes Dear Reader has any economic, foreign, or domestic policy that is worth while. No one.

Which explains why the media supports it.

Hmmm, is no policy on the subject a 'foreign policy'?

I can see them criticizing him for his policy of not having a foreign policy.

You can't criticize him for something that doesn't exist.
