AP/Tony Gutierrez Senator Ted Cruz. Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) attacked what he described as " the Obama-Clinton foreign policy" in a wide-ranging speech on Tuesday.
"It's almost as if the whole world is on fire right now," Cruz said at a Washington event hosted by Concerned Veterans for America. "Leading from behind doesn't work."
As an alternative, Cruz presented his own three-part plan for "r easserting American leadership in the world." The first step, Cruz said, was making sure the US government again becomes a voice for freedom.
"We should be a clarion voice for freedom. Never underestimate the power of the bully pulpit of America," Cruz said, citing former President Ronald Reagan's speech urging the Soviet Union to tear down the Berlin Wall. " One of the most striking and inexplicable aspects of the last six years is the almost complete absence of American leadership speaking out for freedom."

thread title had me thinking the Hunger Games. Obama is so like President Snow.
It would be really nice to have a bonafide statesman in the White House.
My only problem with all of this is that Cruz’s words will never be heard outside the fishbowl of political news junkies and people flipping around and stopping on C-SPAN at the right time. Cruz needs to put together some paid prime-time tv spots explaining in plain language what’s going on, and remedies to fix it. Unless joe six-pack hears the message, it’s just an obscure article no one will remember in a week.

Is it just me or is Obama getting uglier as time passes...
Yes, this is infinitely preferable, I believe, to President Obama's milquetoast, go-along-to-get-along approach to foreign policy...
The world is on fire and so are Obama’s pants.
his “happy” features are getting more prominent....if you know what I mean...
” One of the most striking and inexplicable aspects of the last six years is the almost complete absence of American leadership speaking out for freedom.”
This is because President Obama does not believe in freedom. His entire upbringing has taught him that freedom is a sham, a make believe to keep down black people.
Real freedom to Obama is government control of everything.
It’s not just you. He one ugly knob.
Picture of Dorian Grey
At this stage, I’d settle for a boafide adult.
DEPOPULATE socialists from the body politic.
DEFUND socialist collectives, foreign and domestic.
