"This was a speech big on platitudes and hopeless idealism, while containing much that was counter-productive for the world’s superpower. Ultimately it was little more than a laundry list of Obama’s favourite liberal pet causes, including cutting nuclear weapons, warning about climate change, putting an end to all wars, shutting Guantanamo, ending global poverty, and backing the European Project. It was a combination of staggering naiveté, the appeasement of America’s enemies and strategic adversaries, and the championing of more big government solutions."
"There was little in this speech that advances US interests, or makes the world a safer place."
(Ed. note: Duh!)
"Obama’s
distinctly unimpressive speech in Berlin was another dud from a
floundering president whose leadership abroad is just as weak as it is
at home."
