Obama on foreign policy: " Be patient in a complex world"

President Obama made an unscheduled visit to the White House press briefing room Wednesday to address the nation on a host of foreign policy crises testing his administration. Obama’s visit was timed to coincide with the nightly newscasts and allowed the president to project the image that he is on top of a myriad of issues, including violence in the West Bank, nuclear talks with Iran and Russia’s interventions in Ukraine. “We live in a complex world and at a challenging time,” Obama said. “And none of these challenges lend themselves to quick or easy solutions, but all of them require American leadership. And as commander in chief, I'm confident that, if we stay patient and determined, that we will, in fact, meet these challenges.” The White House has come under heavy criticism throughout the year over their handling of world events, from renewed violence in Iraq to the trade of five Taliban prisoners for U.S. Sgt. Berg Bergdahl.

I'm I jaded or does that sound aggressively weak?

I'm torn - I mean doing "nothing" seems to be incredibly passive and lame. However, everything he touches tends to turn to shite - so, maybe he's finally got his feet underneath him - recognizes his limitations, and is just going to run the clock out with golf, vacations and fundraising.
Unless we're attacked, I guess I can live with the latter.

I mean where is he leading that his initiatives need time to play out? Egypt seems to be the only sign of improvement and they basically kicked obamas boy out.

I'll admit, I laughed. Well done.

I'm fine with him doing this until that cold day in January 2017. It's money well spent to keep him away from dictating public policy.

This could describe almost any period in history.

I think any president could improve border security about 10 times better than it's secured now in the 6 years he's had to do it.

Sadly, while he may be running out the clock, Jarrett isn't.
