Obama hammers Walker on foreign policy? Really?

The self-appointed king of all things has made clear he is displeased with the man democrats fear most- Scott Walker. Walker dared criticize Obama's Iran deal and Obama has lashed out at Walker:

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker shouldn’t criticize the U.S.-led nuclear deal with Iran until he’s had more time to “bone up” on foreign policy, President Obama said in an interview with NPR released Tuesday morning.

Mr. Walker, a Republican and likely 2016 presidential candidate, has said he would undo this administration’s agreement with Iran on day one of his presidency. The preliminary Iran deal, struck last week, still must be finalized.

While it’s unclear whether the agreement ultimately will be cleared by Congress, Mr. Obama said it would be a grave mistake for the next president to walk it back, and the president used the issue to take another shot at Mr. Walker.

And then this:
“I am confident that any president who gets elected will be knowledgeable enough about foreign policy and knowledgeable enough about the traditions and precedents of presidential power that they won’t start calling into question the capacity of the executive branch of the United States to enter into agreements with other countries. If that starts being questioned, that’s going to be a problem for our friends and that’s going to embolden our enemies,” Mr. Obama said in the NPR interview, which was taped Monday at the White House.

“It would be a foolish approach to take,” the president continued. “And perhaps Mr. Walker, after he has taken some time to bone up on foreign policy, will feel the same way.”

Oh boy. Where do you start?

The first thing that comes to mind is Obama calling Bush "unpatriotic." That established quite a tradition in itself.

"...traditions and precedents of Presidential power"?

Are you kidding me? This from the guy who promised to limit Presidential executive power? It sounds clearly as if Obama is warning Walker not to even think of messing with Obama's decrees.

And speaking of precedent:

Let's have a look at the Obama foreign policy in the Middle East. What hasn't Obama screwed up?

Iraq

Listen to the commanders on the ground, Obama was told. Don't leave hastily, Obama was warned. He didn't listen and he did abandon Iraq. Iraq was a success story and we know that from Obama himself:

“This strategy is grounded in a clear and achievable goal shared by the Iraqi people and the American people: an Iraq that is sovereign, stable, and self-reliant. To achieve that goal, we will work to promote an Iraqi government that is just, representative, and accountable, and that provides neither support nor safe-haven to terrorists.”
Today Iraq is a disaster.

Obama the Undocumented by Pelosi’s Perjury
has converted the Pentagon to the Army of Hasan
from his White Mosque, as he has enabled
every single Islamic terrorists on Earth.

America prays for the day that someone in the
Pentagon WAKES UP AND ARRESTS HIM FOR TREASON.

Obama will have to be dragged kicking and screaming out of the oval office.

Dear Obama,

Your ignorant foreign policy has sentenced millions of Persians to their deaths. The Mullahs have to be confronted and you failed miserably.

Walker’s response was your typical generic Republican statement. He should have went for the jugular, and he should have used biting sarcasm. No wonder why the media ignored his statement.

I’m very disappointed in the direction of Walker’s campaign. If that would have been me, I would have completely nuked Obama’s comments.

A blind squirrel with a phone and a pen could have run foreign policy better than this flop of a president. He was not capable of being president, never having run anything but his motor mouth, but he feels free to criticize Gov. Walker, a very successful governor. Disgusting.

He has not announced yet. Concentrate on the two that have. Cruz and Paul....they are the stars right now. Walker will be the last one standing but he is not stupid and announcing early so they are old news by January 2016. I am not going to use a microscope on every comment Walker makes.
