Colorado Springs, Colorado (CNN) - President Barack Obama delivered a strong defense of his international leadership at the U.S. Air Force Academy on Wednesday, telling graduating cadets they'll be building on "new era of American leadership."
Obama told the incoming corps of second lieutenants they are stepping into "a different world" than the one the United States faced when they entered the academy in 2008.
FULL STORY

Is this a joke? Obama isn't even a national leader, let alone a global leader.
Jusf heard the speech on MSNBC while having lunch. Ngood speech.
One world government one world currency new world order

Ok, right. He is not a strong lead like George W. Bush, is that it? Our foreign policy under Obama has been 1000 times better than under that clown Bush. The GOP knows it can not run against him on this issue and they know it. Next.
"President Barack Obama delivered a strong defense of his international leadership "
------
"his" international leadership. After all its all about him.
The Obama Doctrine, "Leading from Behind", a "new era of American leadership." Yes, we are very aware of it. It ends this November.
Has anybody ever bothered to clue Obama into a well known fact about leaders and leading? Leaders never blame others or make excuses for their failures. They take responsibility for them. And one more thing, leaders NEVER use the words "me" and "I".
@Fair is Fair – "his" international leadership. After all its all about him.

Fair, that is so lame.. of course it's all about him you dimwit! It's an election year... he's got enough dumbos from the right trying to cut him down at every opportunity, so this is perfectly normal for any President in an election year. Reagan, and every president since has done it... but it only seems to be an issue when the POTUS happens to be a Dem. Right ??
Hypocrisy rules OK!
The GOBP Doctrine, "Do nothing", a "new era of American leadership." Yes, we are very aware of it.
No candidate, no platform, no policies, no compromise, no good for the country and no chance in Nov..
Obama couldn't lead his way out of a wet paper bag. Other world leaders know this, especially the Russians that are just devouring this naive buffoon. Nobody in their right mind can take Obama seriously at this point. Everybody pretty much knows he's toast in November, except for the diehard braindead koolaide drinkers in here.

Sure is. He created it so he can claim it. Prior to him coming on board people were throwing shoes at Bush, and leaving us to fend for ourselves in the middle of the Iraqui desert. Remember that?
Yeah, that was the Bush Doctrine for ya'.
The Obama Doctrine gets things done before claiming credit, and endeavors and encourages cooperations with other nations.
Seriously, nobody swallows that fib that Bush left us to fend for ourselves in the Iraqi dessert. Obama Doctrine is about singing Kumbaya. Of course world leaders like him, they know he has a naive view of the world, why else do you think they gave him the Noble Peace Prize in advance.
when they graduate they will be at the mercy of Obamas failures globaly,which is a JOKE.

Excuse but... so?
Every POTUS (specially after WWII) has left a very clear mark on the way the USA gets along (or not) with the other countries of the world.
Republicans and Democrats alike.
So of course the current POTUS would defend HIS way of doing this or that... or would you like if he started to defend Romney's ways?
Get real.
