Post-American President: "The end of American world leadership"

Amazing what changes can affect a nation run by a man with no governing experience, whose world view has been shaped by -among others- the anti-American Bill Ayres and the demagogue Rev. Wright.

Atlas Shrugs   "Just as I predicted in my book The Post-American Presidency: The Obama Administration's War on America ......  Caroline Glick explains what happened in Geneva last week and what it means. It was one of those infamous historic turning points from which there is no turning back. The world, whether we acknowledge it or not, is in free fall.

"Obama has destroyed America's credibility and relinquished American hegemony, and in doing so has destroyed whatever semblance of peace and tranquility there was in the world before he came into office."
Half the world are vying to try to take advantage of regional opportunities if the United States is not there to stop mold, and to stop rust, which is the natural organic order of the world. They take advantage of it and our friends are there waiting to see which side to join.  (Victor Davis Hanson in 2008 here)
Ms. Geller cites this article by Caroline Glick, Israeli columnist:

The demise of Pax Americana This piece is only a portion of Ms. Glick's article:
Global leadership is based on two things – power and credibility. The United States remains the most powerful actor in the world. But last week, American credibility was shattered. Secretary of State John Kerry spent the first part of last week lying to Israeli and Gulf Arab leaders and threatening the Israeli people. He lied to Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and the Saudis about the content of the deal US and European negotiators had achieved with the Iranians.
Kerry told them that in exchange for Iran temporarily freezing its nuclear weapons development program, the US and its allies would free up no more than $5 billion in Iranian funds seized and frozen in foreign banks.
 
"Kerry threatened the Israeli people with terrorism and murder – and so invited both – if Israel fails to accept his demands for territorial surrender to PLO terrorists that reject Israel’s right to exist.

"Kerry’s threats were laced with bigoted innuendo"....
