I try to avoid legit political discussions and commentary on Facebook, but this article pretty much explains my exact observations of Obamas understanding of the US Militarys role in the world. An excerpt: Prior to Obama, presidents tended to see American power as a good thing. It helped secure the peace and provide world order. It served the values of freedom and democracy by supporting allies. Whatever American presidents of the post-World War II era may have thought about particular wars, they did not doubt the goodness and necessity of American military power—both as a means of defense and as exerting a deterrent and stabilizing force for the world as a whole. The other day, at the US Air Force Academy graduation, Joe Biden said, I believe we, and particularly you — your class — has an incredible window of opportunity to lead and shaping a new world order for the 21st century in a way consistent with American interests and a common interest. These words have so much meaning, it is impossible to know what is really going on in that house. I am no less concerned today than I was six years ago.
