When looking at President Obama's actual record and not his rhetoric, one must conclude that his presidency was a failure in foreign affairs. The US, as well as the world and Israel, cannot afford another four years of such a leaderless and clueless presidency.
Like Carter during his time, Obama has lost an important long term US and Israeli ally. Just as Carter lost Iran to the ayatollahs, Obama has lost Egypt to the Muslim Brotherhood, which is the ideological vanguard to al-Qaeda and other global Islamists. It took him only few days to betray President Mubarak, and call for his removal and free elections. By pressuring the Egyptian Army to permit a quick free election, the rise to power of the Muslim Brotherhood was facilitated by the president, who had to be aware that they were by far the most organized party in the country.
