How the heck do you come up with that? It's just bizarre and flies in the face of every fact that we know.
1. He has personalized "hit lists" where he chooses the next terrorist to get a drone missile up his ass.
2. He upped the ante in Afghanistan with the surge.
3. He authorized US forces to enter Pakistan without permission, a sovereign entity and an ally, to kill Osama Bin Laden.
The list goes on and on......you just look stupid when you parrot what Rush Limbaugh and the rest of the conservative entertainment industry feeds you, instead of objectively assessing what we all know to be are facts. Facts, not political spin desiged to gain an advantage for the GOP.

President Obama's Muslim Outreach appeasement failure
President Obama's foreign policy of supporting the Arab Spring has now come full circle. In the countries that he was sure would just like us because he was elected, conducted his apology tour, and spent three years in Muslim Outreach, are now storming our embassy walls, burning our flags and killing our people.
The ruse of the War on Terror being over, and the Hope that rhetoric and apologies will Change the value system of the Middle East has been proven wrong. As these violent Anti-American protests continue to spread across the region, into Europe and beyond, will the president be able or willing to adapt to face reality?

FACT: The embassy property in Libya was bombed in April. FACT: The embassy property in Libya was bombed in June. FACT: Embassy personnel requested additional security. FACT: Those requests were denied, and a directive was put out mandating that no one was to request more security. FACT: Not only were the requests for more security personnel denied, the number of security personnel on-hand was further reduced to an “artificially low” level – to appease radical Islamists.

‘Barack Obama’s Middle East Policy Is in Ruins’
Posted on September 14, 2012
“US President Barack Obama’s Middle East policy is in ruins. Like no president before him, he tried to win over the Arab world. After some initial hesitation, he came out clearly on the side of the democratic revolutions. … In this context, he must accept the fact that he has snubbed old close allies such as Israel, Saudi Arabia and the Egyptian military. And now parts of the freed societies are turning against the country which helped bring them into being. Anti-Americanism in the Arab world has even increased to levels greater than in the Bush era. It’s a bitter outcome for Obama.”
“Obama was naive to believe that one only needed to adopt a new tone and show more respect in order to dispel deep-seated reservations about the free world. In practice, the policies of the Obama administration in the region were not as naive as they may have seemed at times, and the Americans have always been much more involved in the Middle East than the passive Europeans. But Washington has provided the image of a distracted superpower in the process of decline to the societies there. This image of weakness is being exploited by Salafists and al-Qaida, who are active in North Africa from Somalia to Mali.”
“One thing is clear: If jihadists believe they can attack American installations and kill an ambassador on the anniversary of Sept. 11, then America’s deterrent power has declined considerably. For a superpower, it is not enough just to want to be loved. You have to scare the bad guys to keep them in check.”

Allgemeine Zeitung writes:
"The murder of an ambassador in Libya and the attacks on US diplomatic missions in other Arab countries is sure to strengthen the skepticism that more than a few Americans feel toward Muslims and the political changes brought by the Arab revolutions. The deeply held American belief that all you have to do is liberate people from serfdom and dictatorship, and then democracy and a market economy will develop more or less on their own, burned to ash in the trial by fire of Iraq. A fact that academics and historically informed diplomats have always known can now be observed throughout the Arab world: Deeply ingrained cultural attitudes do not change simply because one political regime replaces another. In the long process of building a democratic society, it is not possible to simply skip stages."
