Koan, the right course is to set priorities. Obama said that he's more worried about a nuke going off in Manhattan than about Russia taking over the Crimean peninsula. OK, then he should take a more isolationist position and demonstrate that he's serious about homeland security. I would be fine with that, but with open borders, bureaucracy, and a tendency to favor Big Brother over true security, I don't see any proof that Obama cares about said nuke in Manhattan. Moreover, Obama himself has argued against isolationism. So much for that. Meanwhile, Obama seriously underestimated the effect his words and personna would have in foreign policy. "Reset button diplomacy" revolved around the notion that everything will be better once the proverbial bulls have been driven out of the china shop. Didn't turn out that way, did it? Face it, Obama is a paper tiger, more concerned about 7M people "signing up" for ObamaCare than about projecting our foreign policy strength. And it all stems from the liberal notion that the world would be a better place if the lone superpower withdrew from the scene. Tenchusatsu
