Remember the excitement when Obama was elected and everyone said, “Finally, we have a leader that the world can respect and be proud of?” People said Obama would return America to its rightful place in the “world order.”
Now where are we? Russia has a new relationship with Iran. Russia sure has used that reset button.

We know Iran wants to build a nuclear weapon. But what are we going to do if Iran follows through on that; now that the Russian army is in Iran. Our enemies are teaming up with each other.
We are in a post-America age. Now leaders like Vladimir Putin don’t have to calculate what America will do if they want to be an aggressor because our leaders say they are not going to do anything.
Some liberals say this is where we want to be in the world, we don’t want to be the world’s policeman. But who is going to step in; the U.N.?
Somebody is always going to be in control. It’s always been in our best interest to, at the very least, lead.
