| Hisham Melhem, Al Arabiya: America in the mind of the President. |
| 2015-02-17 |
| Excerpt: "President Obama's soaring rhetoric and eloquently crafted pronouncements on foreign affairs, whether his Cairo speech, his Nobel Prize address, or the West Point speech have never hidden the fact that he is a reluctant practitioner of assertive American leadership in the world, or that his diplomatic forays where mostly hesitant, tentative and half-hearted. He can articulate compassion, but never with passion. Instead of making caution in foreign policy a virtue, he turned it into a vice." An interesting perspective, well worth the read. |
