State of the Union Lacks Substance on Foreign Policy

The President Looks Inward, Heritage Foundation Foundry, January 28, 2010. "In publicizing the President’s State of the Union address, Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett announced that one of the achievements of which the administration was most proud in its first year in office was its action to repair “badly frayed global alliances” and “to restore America’s leadership in the world.” That leadership was not much in evidence in the President’s speech, which is only fitting, because it has been lacking in reality as well."
