Confronting critics of his foreign policy, President Barack Obama will soon outline a strategy for his final years in office that aims to avoid overreach as the second of the two wars he inherited comes to a close.

The president will make the case for that seemingly more limited approach during a commencement address Wednesday at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. The speech will come amid growing frustration in the White House with Republicans and other critics who contend that Obama has weakened America’s standing around the world and faltered on problems across the Middle East and in Russia, China and elsewhere. …

This just means we’ll hear more of “well, I heard about that just now - when you all did” when some sh!thole blows up somewhere again.

Yes, hear about everything from the news instead of intelligence briefings.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the regime is planning to pack its bags — prolly having little interest in FP as you suggested ( or I inferred from your post.)

Foreign policy is the most important job conveyed to a President. In fact, it’s the only job. Everything else takes an act of Congress.

“Confronting critics of his foreign policy, President Barack Obama will soon outline a strategy for his final years in office...”

Thank God for that

If your sole response to any problem, action, accusation, indictment, etc. is “ I just now heard about it an I’m mad as hell, I’m gonna get to the bottom of it and heads will roll, why have any plan or do anything?

The media and other Democrats are so invested in protecting the tenure and legacy of America’s First Black President, there isn’t a need to do anything, except that which guarantees your tenure - condemn your opposition and pander for votes.

He’s run out of fingers to put into the dyke, and more leaks are beginning to show!

>> “I just now heard about it an I’m mad as hell ... “

Sadly, politicians get away with that lie for too long.

Regarding “America’s First Black President”, that Black attribution is a distinction that only concerns Democrats — the quality of POTUS’ character is irrelevant (to Democrats.)

To busy waging war on the U.S to worry about foreign policy.

Keep in mind that he always does the opposite of what he says.

Not when it comes to that “fundamental transformation” agenda.

Using a captive audience for political purposes as usual.

“limited foreign policy”

Is this satire??

Even -0 has to do what is called upon him to do I would believe.

Is he just quitting or did he ever really start?

Maybe he will impeach himself.

Will the big Mooch let him leave?

She will probably steal more silverware than the Klintoons when she leaves.

The thoughts are endless and BS goes on forever....
