Former defense secretary Gates on the presidency of Barack Obama

Former defense secretary Gates says Obama 'double crossed' him
. . . "You have to wonder how widespread the following observation by General Flynn is among military leaders:
“I think he sees the military actually as something that is more dangerous to the world,” Flynn added. “I think that he looks at the United States military and sees it as a threatening application around the world, than actually as a useful tool.”
"You can apply that observation to Obama's entire view of the US role in international affairs. He is the first president in US history to not see the US as a force for good in the world. His constant, groveling and gladhanding with murderous thugs and dictators and his numerous, humiliating apologies may please his lefty base in the US and radicals around the world, but a president is supposed to stand up for American interests, not apologize for defending them." . . .

Gates: Obama White House was unable to understand Libya military strategy  The entire column is about the ineptness of the Rev. Wright / Bill Ayres - mentored president and their foreign policy.
. . . "Absolutely amazing. We have a $700 billion military and Obama would rather listen to the 25 cent advice coming from Samantha Power.
"The result of this ignorance is plain to see around the globe. Everybody is taking advantage of us and we are flailing about against our enemies with no real strategy to defeat them. Since Obama is even more clueless than his staff, nobody who knows much of anything at all about military policy has any input.
"But it's all good because we have "smart power.' "


Political Cartoons by Michael Ramirez
Sec. Gates is not the only one unimpressed by this president:
Camera Just Caught The Moment Obama Embarrassed America At Global Nuclear Summit  . . . “ 'The President has come under fire for his relaxed attitude in recent weeks. On a state visit to Argentina, he was seen dancing the tango with an attractive female dancer. On a historic visit to Cuba, he went to a baseball game instead of returning to the United States to respond to the horrific terrorist attacks in Brussels,” it wrote.
“ 'Before that, Obama chose not to attend the funeral of former first lady Nancy Reagan, electing to go to a music festival and eat tacos instead,” it added."
