It's been quite sometime since I last posted I know, but I have returned from hiatus and will attempt to get back to at least a 2 or 3 a week posting schedule again (I hope). Now, on to the subject of the day...
It's been about 4 years since Barrack Obama was awarded the Nobel Peace Price "for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples". Strangely enough this was awarded to him after being in office for less than a year. Besides giving a few high profile speeches and trying to pin all of our nation's previous problems on his predecessor, there really wasn't anything in particular that the President did to significantly strengthen anything. I will admit that President Bush was very much in the "go it alone" camp of acting on the world stage, but at least you knew where he stood. What President Obama has done, particularly over the last couple of months, on the international stage is make apologies, set red lines then back off of them, then again make bold threats after red lines were again crossed, then another day or so later back off and throw the ball to Congress.
