In my lifetime the President worst at foreign policy had been Jimmy Carter with Bill Clinton a very close second. Then came the anticolonial Obama whose liberal atrocities eclipsed them both. Dems like to talk about how the US should not have meddled in the affairs of other nations and in particular the Arab World. And yet, Islamic extremism has plagued this world throughout history. According to some, the historical record reports over 290 million victims of Islamic terror to date, with the prospects of an exponential acceleration of that statistic poised to manifest itself in the coming days.
THE VICTIMS OF ISLAMIC TERROR---
120 million Africans, according to Womanâs Presbyterian Board of Missions, David Livingstone, page 62, in 1888.
80 million Hindus, according to Koenard Elst, in Negationism in India, page 34. also Tarikh-i-Yamini , al-Utbi, Mahmud al-Ghazni's secretary and Ibn Battuta memoirshttp://www.scribd.com/doc/28014130/Moslem-Conquest-of-India-by-Will-Durant

The US fueled
and hailed Arab Spring, served to undue the admittedly tedious knot that world leaders tied immediately following WW2 to help control the violence du jour of the Arab World. Thus from Saudi Arabia to Benghazi, we now find the newly unfettered hands of those freed by the so-called birth pangs of democracy, to be covered with the blood of innocents from around the world. Their religious pursuits are and always have been steeped in the blood of others. They will not change and they will not stop converting or killing those around them. Now, I know Obama is a self styled genius and all, but he might have done a little better with foreign policy had he studied history a little more and transformative social engineering a little less. So granted, meddling in the affairs of the Middle East is fraught with foreign policy maneuvers that blur the line. But, what we have now is surely much much worse. At any rate, it is difficult to imagine anybody, (other than Hillary Clinton) who could have screwed things up any more than we have seen over the past 8 years.
One more thing, IMO had Obama listened to Benjamin Netanyahu instead of Valarie Jarrett he just might have gone down in history as a strong foreign policy President. But, he didn't come into office with the intent to serve and protect. He came in with the intention to transform and reject.
