"This weak and timid President talks big... and does nothing: A devastating attack on Obama by a top Washington insider"
That being said, this president's actions are so different than Americans are accustomed to, that he is drawing negative comments from many places. Personally, I think most are spot on...
Former adviser to Ronald Reagan Clark S. Judge takes a heavy duty shot in the U.K. Daily Mail:
"In all this I have referred to the United States as the primary shaper of world events, which is, in fact, a misleading shorthand. The US is not a superpower so much as the biggest player in a set of super-alliances, the most critical of which is with the UK.
Since the Second World War, when the US and Britain have been of one mind, liberal values have been secure and even advanced. When either has lost its sense of direction, neither has been nearly so effective.
The great danger in being the anchor to the global order is that when we lose our way the general peace itself is threatened.
This is just what we are seeing in theatre after theatre around the world. Perhaps it is time for a key ally like Prime Minister David Cameron to have a friendly talk with the President.
It is not just American interests that a flailing White House threatens. It is that of peoples everywhere."
