[Obama has surrounded himself with smart, competent individuals in his key foreign policy positions - but smart and competent is not what America needs today.]

Obama has tried to destabilize Honduras and deliver it Chavez and Ortega. He broke an ABM deal with Poland on the anniversary of their invasion by Stalin. In the face of mainstream pro-democracy uprisings in Iran he refuses “to meddle.” He treats the Dali Lama like a leper. It takes him 100 days to decide if he should reinforce Afghanistan. He tries to ignore the anniversary of the Berlin Wall's demolition. He refuses to step foot in Israel. He snubs and insults the UK at every opportunity. He bows, curtsys, bends over, apologizes, and bad-mouths his “cowboy” predecessor all over the world. Whoever he listens to on the National Security Council ain't the right guy.

"Whoever he listens to......"

He is definitely not listening to you NeoCons.

NeoCon Cheney is out, Realist Colin Powell is in.
NeoCon Rumsfeld is out Realist Bob Gates is in
NeoCon Wolfowitz is out, Realist Brent Scowcroft is in
NeoCon puppet Liz Cheney never was in, she will always be out

Notice the last sentence in the third paragraph: "she seem to be quite the foreign policy realist"

She is not a realist, she is a "liberal interventionist"

Obama's foreign policy is being run by a coalition of Realists and Liberal Interventionists. This coalition has been running the US's foreign policy since the Iraq Study Group issued it's report and Bob Gates replaced Rumsfeld.

Consequently, there is going to be a lot of squealing from the NeoCons, the left wing pacifists, and the right wing isolationists.
