Naivete meet arrogance
https://nypost.com/2018/01/26/new-film-a...y-naivety/
Article on a new film:
"“...The Final Year,” though, is chiefly a study of Obama-administration foreign policy as overseen by Secretary of State John Kerry, Power and Rhodes. The foreign-policy masters see their three accomplishments as the Paris Climate Accord, the opening to Cuba and the Iran deal.
Given that the former was nonbinding and later dumped by President Trump, while the other two amounted to making concessions to American foes in exchange for virtually nothing, this is a bit like bragging that you suckered the Franklin Mint into giving up a souvenir Elvis plate for only $34.95.
But to understand why Rhodes and Obama are so pleased with their foreign policy, you have to understand the way they think. The documentary is revealing about that.
Naïvety, meet arrogance. These were the guiding forces behind the Rhodes-Obama foreign policy. The arrogance came in thinking that all previous administrations were too thick to come up with this awesome idea Rhodes had: Military force is bad...."

The really frightening thing about this is that Oblunder, Horseface, and his team of dipshits actually believe they did well on foreign policy.

....and what's worse is instead of having their shot and then getting out of the way when they are no longer in office - these narcissistic aholes can't shut up. They're still pushing their failed policies from the sidelines. The ultimate Monday morning couch potato coach!!
