I don't believe he is a defeatist. A defeatist simply gives up the hope of winning.
I believe that Obama's goal is to lower America's standard of living to that of other countries. He especially wants to lower White Americans' standard of living to that of Black, Sub-Saharan Africans.
It's all about pay-back to him. Pay-back to Whitey for mythical injustices, which never actually happened.
He is a defeatist when dealing with our foreign enemies.
