Obama’s clear lack of interest in human rights issues is a big seller at the UN, where at least half its members have poor human rights records.

The president scores highly at the UN for refusing to project American values and military might on the world stage, with rare exceptions like the war against the Taliban. His appeasement of Iran, his bullying of Israel, his surrender to Moscow, his call for a nuclear free world, his siding with Marxists in Honduras, his talk of a climate change deal, have all won him plaudits in the large number of UN member states where US foreign policy has traditionally been viewed with contempt.

Simply put, Barack Obama is loved at the UN because he largely fails to advance real American leadership. This is a dangerous strategy of decline that will weaken US power and make her far more vulnerable to attack.


Gardiner, who is director of the Margaret Thatcher Center for Freedom at the Heritage Foundation, goes on to bash Obama for throwing Eastern Europe under the Russky bus, and to note that he “overseeing and implementing the biggest decline in American global power since Jimmy Carter,” from which it may take another generation to recover.

And that truth hertz, a lot, donut.

Legal Insurrection listened to the speech, so we don’t have to, and reports:

The United States as the shining city on the hill is dead. The entire thrust of the speech was that we have acted alone, and caused many if not most of the world’s problems.
