Thank you for the notes, it simply baffles me why those advising this
president cannot think through these things. And one wonders the next four
years if he is reelected. Each president has a strength and a weakness this
president has no single strength, none. But he has been a blessing to The
Moslem brothers you have no idea. Let me add too that in Afghanistan he has
removed the Americans from training the local army for they turn around and
kill Americans. May be it would look stronger if he simply pulled out ? Just
asking !!!!
But thanks for the notes they are worth looking into

To avoid dead silence, here are a few talking points for President Barack
Obama on foreign policy.
The president needs to take full responsibility of the Benghazi, loss, like
Ronald Reagan, did with the Beirut Marine loss. He has to assure the
American people that he will beef up security and require a high level
escort detail for all his Ambassadors around the globe- even if it means
drones being placed in close proximity in some of these tougher
neighborhoods.
Since many natural disasters have happened under his watch, he has to speak
to the world about disaster preparedness; consultation with the UN Secretary
General Ban Ki-moon, to put in place a disaster preparedness agenda to be
met by most UN members, would be a great start. There is a standard level of
preparedness which could have saved lives in Haiti, Japan, had it been
implemented. It might just be the use of FEMA, to share and train other
similar organs in indigenous countries JFK would have done it that way, if
hed witnessed such natural disasters during his presidency.
On the training of Iraqi and Afghanistan troops and their police forces,
this is a job that could be accomplished under American supervision in a
friendly Arab nation such as Saudi Arabia, or even South Africa, it is not
that sophisticated to train fellows who are going to keep the peace
sending them our best trainers to be sacrificed, is not working out well at
this juncture. The president needs an alternative plan on this very issue.
On issues of World Order and security, there was a great speech given by
former Defense Secretary Robert Gates, before he left office; President
Obama, ought to look through that speech and pick out the elements of his
new security footprint around the globe as mapped out by this sage. He needs
to maintain his foreign policy strength in the eyes of the Democratic Party
conservative base, which wants to contain Chinas foot print and the spread
of fundamentalism around the globe. Whether he stands with Japan on the
recent spate with China or talks about standing with Taiwan like all his
predecessors, it is entirely up to him.
Since he has used drones more than any other president on the global scene,
he needs to talk about how effective they have been, as well as talk about
the unfortunate collateral damage associated with this. The objective here
is to give us all a sense of security and comfort that he is still on the
frontlines. He also has to draw out his compassion for women who are being
raped in the DRC, the one hundred troops and AMSCOM mission in Africa
clearly draws out that which has been coined well by his predecessors, walk
gently but carry a big stick, it shows American compassion around the
globe, and this ought to be the axis of his foreign policy.
Some elements of his foreign policy appeal might be taking hold, in the
fight against terrorism. Something within his policies is working and his
experts and Secretary Hilary Clinton know best but he ought to take credit
for it. The dictators around the world are in check, he needs to go a step
further in a professorial manner, to explain the evils of dictatorship and
the impact it has on ordinary citizens. The American audience needs to know
that being oppressed is similar to putting a person in prison without
rehabilitation and expecting them to come out reformed. He needs to speak to
how freezing the assets of these dictators, is making it difficult to do
business as usual.
He should stand firm on non nuclear proliferation in the Middle East, but
he has to lead a coalition of nations coalitions have been used for this
purpose by all his immediate predecessors. His commitment to the survival of
Israel should leave no doubt in anyones mind. Although he may not always
agree with the quick approach of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, they
have more in common on matters of security for the two nations than any of
his predecessors.
