bolder? what has come to define this era of world history and how obama plays in it? one point has already been mentioned. no matter what obama does, the world is becoming more multi-polar. it s not only democratization, it s industrialization. we won t have the vote we thought we would have 10 or 11 years ago. that s not going to happen. at the same time, we re dealing with the winding down of a second inconclusive war that probably did us no good in the world, and that s an area where obama can display leadership in helping us define, what s our mission after this? not to reclaim sole super power status. where is he bolder, elliott abrams? how does he make a difference? i don t think he s going to be bolder. i think his main concerns are still domestic. and i do think there is a leadership gap here. if we look at what our middle eastern friends are saying, and some of those who are surrounded, really, by china, they re saying, where are you
be bolder. i think his main concerns are still domestic. and i do think there is a leadership gap here. if we look at what our middle eastern friends are saying, and some of those who are surrounded, really, by china, they re saying, where are you guys? you used to be the biggest power here. what are you doing? i say we see this in syria. in the middle east that s the thing they point to. the president stepped up and then he stepped back. the question, though, how well did that work out? how well did it work out for the united states to essentially believe it had the right to try to direct events in the middle east? i would argue that there is at best a mixed record, and i think president obama would argue that it didn t work out that well, that, in fact, we have to find a different road that doesn t, you know, make us the boss of everybody. two-thirds of americans in three recent polls indicate that they thought the afghan war was the wrong war to engage in, or it s gone on too lo
he has been schooling our president of the united states on how to be a leader, hasn t he? he has filled the leadership gap because obama and kerry can t make up their mind. i don t like putin. but i respect that guy. he is tough. he delivers what he says he ll deliver. he knows his people. he presents himself as a real he man, but he lives up to it. our president talks tough, but in a clinch, he s gutless. you know, there was a moment in the 08 presidential campaign when the american right got so hot for sarah palin that it actually became a little nc-17. remember, there was this writer for the national review who said that when he saw sarah palin she sent star bursts straight through the tv screen. it sent little star bursts through the screen. straight at them. it was mesmerizing. it september starbursts through the screen.
the umpire would be shouting, advantage, putin. he has filled the leadership gap because obama and kerry can t make up their mind. i don t like putin. but i respect that guy. he is tough. he delivers what he says he ll deliver. he presents himself as a real he man, but he lives up to it. our president talks tough, but in a clinch, he s gutless. you know, there was a moment in the 08 presidential campaign when the american right got so hot for sarah palin that it actually became a little nc-17. remember, there was this writer who said that when he saw sarah palin she sent star bursts straight through the tv screen. it sent little star bursts through the screen. it s either something you have or you don t and man, she s got
agree with you on that point. these republicans that wanted the president to do more a year ago say he s doing too much now. they have to get the story straight as well. a pin pediatric, unbelievably small, the world will laugh at us. vladimir putin filled the leadership gap because obama anderry can t make up their minds about red line and regime change. i m glad you re a vladimir putin fan. you can t make up your mind. vladimir putin saved kerry s bacon. you re listening to assad and taking their word for it. listening to putin instead of your president. i know you disagree with him on a number of things. support your president, sean, please. he bought into the whole deal today. vladimir putin actually came up with a good idea. if the world community can get the chemical weapons he just saved obama s backside and kerry s. you can broadcast the show from moscow, sean. how about that? i will be glad to, comrade. you re the socialist, not me. up next on hannity
