In this revealing broadside, Victor Davis Hanson explains how President Obama has imprinted his domestic ideology of victimhood onto a therapeutic, Carter-inspired foreign policy. In Obama’s vision, the United State renounces its role as a defender of the postwar order and instead becomes an agent of global change – one that questions our existing system of defense, values, alliances, interests, and commerce.

In tactical terms, Obama believes that his 'hope-and-change' rhetoric and non-traditional background give him a moral authority abroad that will trump any inconsistency in U.S. foreign policy. But, as Hanson explains, at some future date, regional hegemons like Iran, Russia and China will demand even more acquiescence on the theory that the present government of the United States either will not object, or will do nothing concrete to stop them.

AS THE FIRST "HALFRICAN SON OF COMMUNIST PARENTS" WITH AN ISLAMIC CHILDHOOD, OBAMA AGENDA IS EXPOSED WITHOUT THE FICTIONS AND PROPAGANDA SOLD AS NEWS NOT OPINIONS. DR. HANSON'S COMMON SENSE AND RESEARCH EXPOSES THE BAIT AND SWITCH SCHEMES THAT DAVID AXELROD, AND GEORGE SOROS A NAZI COLLABORATOR, JEWISH ANTISEMITE, MONEY CHANGER, USED TO TAKE CONTROL OF THE DEMOCRAT PROGRESSIVE SOCIALIST MESSAGE IN 2008. THEIR DECEIT GOT THE SON OF COMMUNIST PARENTS RAISED ISLAMIC ELECTED WITH A BOGUS TALE OF UNITY, WITH FACTS HIDDEN AND DEFLECTED BY THE #sic6MediaMonopolies. THE DEMOCRAT JUDEAFRO CABAL IN 2008 WAS GLAD TO USE SOROS DOLLARS, HIS SHELL COMPANIES FUNDED THROUGH THE SOROS "OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE" AND IT NUMEROUS ITERATIONS FOR OPEN SABOTAGE, DECEIT, VIOLENCE, INTIMIDATION, AND PROPAGANDA AGAINST AMERICAN RULE OF LAW, CONSTITUTION, CHECKS AND BALANCES; A CULTURE OF FREE ENTERPRISE AND INDIVIDUAL FREEDOMS. "BOIL THE FROG STYLE" INFILTRATION AND OUTRIGHT SABOTAGE HAS BEGUN AND it's cloaked as PROGRESSIVE DEMOCRAT SOCIAL DEMOCRACY

This book has made me remember the ways our Presidents have become weak not only in the eyes of fellow Americans
, but unfortunately in the eyes of the rest of the world.
We have allowed our laws and morals to change. We have become a nation divided by selfish interest.
If we continue to fill our minds with garbage of "alternative life styles", and ignore the one true God that had blessed us to be free in a country that has natural resources. We will continue to decline. I pray that more people will be enlightened and have respect for God and the wonderful world He has given us to use and renew.

His philosiphies degrade the U.S. power position in the world. He plays like a little boy in a big boy world.

An incisive critique of the Obama administration in its failure to address the national issues facing America. It clearly demonstrates that Obama is unqualified to be commander-in-chief who has no strategy or desire to confront the Islamic enemy.

As the tyranny of obama drags on, you can see that Mr. Hanson was correct in his warnings. In the begining, I wrote off obama's chronic failures to his being a dellitant. However, that is not the case.

This book promised insight and all I got was information I already knew. You would be better off buying a book from Michele Malkin she has insight and cites as well. This book was just someones rant.
