Isolationism would be difficult if not impossible with world trade. American trade and interests abroad need protection which eventually would lead to "entanglements" unless somehow everyone in the world followed the rules...whatever they might be. How would enforcing rules be accomplished ? The UN certainly would allow every nasty little and big country or collection of countries to run roughshod over Americans and their interests. A strong presence around the world is necessary to prevent or at least diminish the enterprise of kidnapping to sell and or ransom Americans. Very difficult to accomplish in a satisfactory way. Russia would annex all of Europe and maybe North Africa. They could divide the world with the Chinese.

Or, barring all of the above, I'd like to believe that Obama is eventually going to commit America to a policy of isolationism. Obama clearly prefers focusing on his domestic agenda, so any foreign policy distractions can't be a good thing to him. Hence he would need to filter them out by declaring that America will not further entangle itself in foreign conflicts, and that the rest of the world would need to start taking responsibility for their own defense.
