Help Me Refute - A Friend Of Mine Just Said Obama Is A Terrible Foreign Policy President....

[Agnosticsherbet]

3. What foreign policy initiative is he complaining about?

Is it the policy with Ukraine? Syria? The Trans-Pacific Partnership? Korea? The Pivot to Asia? The attempts to contain China? The Keystone XL pipeline (yes even that is foreign policy because it is working with Canada.)

Foreign policy is a god-awful huge subject. Without knowing what your friend is thinks is good foreign policy or bad foreign policy, it is impossible to help much?

Foreign policy criticism from right wing sources accuses Obama is being soft on our perceived enemies. We didn't go to war in Syria, invade the Ukraine, or grab Kim Jong-un by the neck and rap his head against a brick wall. From the left, it is often trade policy like the Trans Pacific Partnership that sells American jobs to the lowest bidder, or our policy in Ukraine that appears to be driving the US into another World War, rattling sabers at Korea, pro-corporate policies such as the Keystone XL Pipeline..

So, is your friend Conservative, Liberal, Progressive, Centrist? Throw us a bone.
