What was "THE OBAMA DOCTRINE"

[ColonelAngus]

earth to anusidiot .. name one American President who had jurisdiction in international waters, or Brazilian waters .. just ONE.

Pff! When did "jurisdiction" ever stop Barack Obama? He had zero jurisdiction to force the American people to purchase a good or service like he did with Obamacare - but that didn't stop him. He had zero jurisdiction to create amnesty in November of 2014 with two "Presidential Memorandums" - but that didn't stop him.

Additionally, just because he can't necessarily stop Brazil from drilling off of their coast doesn't mean that he has to subsidize it.

Well, if no one can articulate Obama's foreign policy strategy, there clearly was not one.

I think his foreign policy was based on whatever would keep Dems at the DC trough...fat, happy, and re-elected.

You really think polls showed Americans had an appetite for intervening in civil wars and helping set up UN refugee camps Over There? He may not have been a great international leader, but Americans didn't want to vote for one. Notice what happened to Romney.

Why do flakes hate facts?

 

[ClosedCaption]

Is Obama still the POTUS? Or you're trying deflect that you don't have any idea what Trump stands for?

Obama's foreign policy for the past 8 years seems relevant to me in any current foreign policy discussion.

Why wouldn't it be? Specifically?

Because it doesn't answer what Trump's doctrine. The world history for the past 40 years seems relevant also...but we're talking about now. Not what Jimmy Carter did

If you don't get why the foreign policy of the past 8 years is relevant today, I can't help you.

If you can't get why the foreign policy of the past 4 years is relecan't today I can't help you either. How about we start with the founding of the nation? Lls

That's easy. Fulfilling President Bushes promise to go after the terrorist regardless of what country they slither off to. If the country they hide in can't or wont do the deed, President Obama would.

 

[ColonelAngus]

Well, people should not book United.

 

[P@triot]

So what was Obama's foreign policy platform, specifically?

to bend over and spread his ass cheeks so partisan hack RW's could kiss his ass.

There you have it folks....when even his most ardent supporters can't defend (or explain) his foreign policy, that tells you everything you need to know.

Uh....what? Barack Obama - the man who armed Al Qaeda and gave rise to ISIS? The one who who helped over throw stable regimes that were our allies (like Mubarak in Egypt and Gadaffi in Egypt)? Are you confused? Drunk? Having some severe medial episode?

The Obama Doctrine was to keep the true origins of his birth suppressed by sealing up his college admissions, original 1961 birth certificate and refusing all questions as to why he had a Social Security number from the state of Connecticut when he nor any member of his family ever lived there.

Here, flakes:

Obama Doctrine - Wikipedia
Unlike precisely-defined policies such as the Monroe Doctrine or Bush Doctrine, the Obama Doctrine is not a specific foreign policy introduced by the executive. This has led journalists and political commentators to analyze what the exact tenets of an Obama Doctrine might look like.[2] Generally speaking, it is widely accepted that a central part of such a doctrine would emphasize negotiation and collaboration rather than confrontation and unilateralism in international affairs.[3][4] This policy has been praised by some as a welcome change from the interventionist Bush Doctrine.[5][6] Critics of Obama's unilateral policies (such as targeted killings of suspected enemies of the US) including former United States Ambassador to the United Nations John Bolton, have described it as overly idealistic and naïve, promoting appeasement of adversaries.[7][8] Others have drawn attention to its radical departure in tone from not only the policies of the Bush administration but many former presidents as well.[8][9] Some trace the origin of Obama's doctrine to a speech he delivered at West Point in May 2014, where he asserted that the "United States will use military force, unilaterally if necessary, when our core interests demand it," but for indirect threats or humanitarian crises, "we must mobilize partners to take collective action."[10] This doctrine of "moral multilateralism," some argue, reflects Obama's interest in philosopher Reinhold Niebuhr, who supported an interventionist U.S. foreign policy but warned against hubris and moral misjudgment.[11]

Pakistan armed al Qaeda. ISIS is in large part the remnants of the Sunni resistance whose existence can be attributed to President Bushes (43) invasion and occupation of Iraq.

AQ is a fraud. The attack on the USS Cole was a missile, not a boat. AQ is blamed for things they do not do. The CIA and Mossad do it, and "radical islam" is blamed, and off to war the Americans go to help Israel re-conquer the Promised Land.

It was the doctrine of DUMB ASS LIBERAL that's what it was. Where some dumb ass with no career experience thought his days on campus somehow qualified him to be POTUS.

The Obama Administration armed both Al Qaeda and ISIS to overthrow Assad in Syria, Mubarek in Egypt, and Gaddafi in Egypt.
