Former President Barack Obama said in an interview with on the Pod Save America podcast on Wednesday that President Donald Trump didnt have the patience and the focus to really substantially change a lot of U.S. foreign policy.
Tommy Vietor asked, You spent countless hours with Vice President Biden talking about national security. What did you learn about how he thinks about diplomacy and counterterrorism and the use of military force that others would not have seen?

That's odd, Zero has also criticized President Trump's reimposition of sanctions on the mullahcracy, and hasn't endorsed the Abraham Accords. The reason for both? Soetero is a jihadist.
Talking to Obama about Foreign Policy is like talking to LeBron James about the struggle of being Black in America.
SOMETHING neither of them know anything about.
Right...
* President Trump smokes Qasem Soleimani
* President Trump pulls out of Paris Accords
* President Trump makes NATO begin paying for their defense
* President Trump threatens the NORKS and they quiet down
* President Trump pulls out of TPP
* President Trump renegotiates NAFTA
...and those are just off the top of my head. There are MANY more.
I’d like to see a list of 0bama-Biden foreign policy achievements. Does anyone have one? I’m thinking it would be a very short list so look on the backs of matchbooks, gum wrappers, etc.
Obama came out of his basement? He must be starting to feel the heat.
started the Arab Spring?
Yeah yeah - he cant save the economy either, obozo.
Get bent.
Dear illegal immigrant ObamaOrWhatevetYourRealNamrIs, STFU! Youre lucky youre not in Guantanamo
Trump has managed to contribute the biggest foreign policy gains for the U.S. in perhaps 80 years, and Obama is in denial about those facts?
Of course, Obama and Biden, and democrats in general, will never accept that Trump is probably the best thing to happen to the U.S. in over 100 years. Allowing Trump any kind of success would mean the death-knell of the democratic party.
Translation: Trump does not want to continue the usual diplomatic games.
(This reminds me of the State Department career desk jockeys who were horrified that the cold war ended. They were out of a job.)
Trump just did middle east peace by by passing Obama cronies.
IOOW Trump does not suffer fools like Obama
Trump killed ISIS. And Al Baghdadi and Soleimani among others.
That alone shows the difference between appeasement ( aka patience) and action, and certainly reset US policy in the middle east
FRANCIS: We're gettin' in through the underground heating system here, up through into the main audience chamber here, and Pilate's wife's bedroom is here. Having grabbed his wife, we inform Pilate that she is in our custody and forthwith issue our demands. Any questions?
COMMANDO XERXES: What exactly are the demands?
REG: We're giving Pilate two days to dismantle the entire apparatus of the Roman Imperialist State, and if he doesn't agree immediately, we execute her.
MATTHIAS: Cut her head off?
FRANCIS: Cut all her bits off. Send 'em back on the hour every hour. Show them we're not to be trifled with.
REG: Also, we're demanding a ten foot mahogany statue of the Emperor Julius Caesar with his dock hangin' out.
P.F.J.: laughing
LORETTA: What? They'll never agree to that, Reg.
REG: That's just a bar-- a bargaining counter. And of course, we point out that they bear full responsibility when we chop her up, and that we shall not submit to blackmail!
COMMANDOS: No blackmail!
REG: They've bled us white, the bastards. They've taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers' fathers.
LORETTA: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers.
REG: Yeah.
LORETTA: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers' fathers.
REG: Yeah. All right, Stan. Don't labour the point. And what have they ever given us in return?!
XERXES: The aqueduct?
REG: What?
XERXES: The aqueduct.
REG: Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us that. Uh, that's true. Yeah.
COMMANDO #3: And the sanitation.
LORETTA: Oh, yeah, the sanitation, Reg. Remember what the city used to be like?
REG: Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the aqueduct and the sanitation are two things that the Romans have done.
MATTHIAS: And the roads.
REG: Well, yeah. Obviously the roads. I mean, the roads go without saying, don't they? But apart from the sanitation, the aqueduct, and the roads--
COMMANDO: Irrigation.
XERXES: Medicine.
COMMANDOS: Huh? Heh? Huh...
COMMANDO #2: Education.
COMMANDOS: Ohh...
REG: Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.
COMMANDO #1: And the wine.
COMMANDOS: Oh, yes. Yeah...
FRANCIS: Yeah. Yeah, that's something we'd really miss, Reg, if the Romans left. Huh.
COMMANDO: Public baths.
LORETTA: And it's safe to walk in the streets at night now, Reg.
FRANCIS: Yeah, they certainly know how to keep order. Let's face it. They're the only ones who could in a place like this.
COMMANDOS: Hehh, heh. Heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.
REG: All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, a fresh water system, and public health, what have the Romans ever done for us?
If airplane loads of cash were clandestinely flown to a sworn enemy of the United States, and if that money ended up in the pockets of Iran's Revolutionary Guard, might that be an example of "underwriting international order", or would it be the precise reciprocal of underwriting international order?
Hmmm?
So true...did spell check bite your post with “underwriting” instead of “undermining”?
Could go either way...:)
Trump: Leveling playing field and self reliance for America, symbiotic relationships in US interests, conflict resolution when necessary/de-esculation when possible, bringing troops home, Iran deal cancel, historic peace, etc
Biden: China, Ukraine, Hunter on loop.
Obama really had patience if he gave Iran 1.7 Billion and 400 million in a suitcase. Iran- Here is what we want. Obama- OK.
What, change to your model? Bend over and take in every opening from everyone. Why don’t you crawl back in your stink hole you F#@#king Anti American POS!!
