There is something to be said for Teddy Roosevelt's philosophy of "Speak Softly and Carry a Big Stick". Bush just believed in carrying the big stick and threatening speech. Obama still carries the big stick, but is speaking softly now.
There is fuck all point in having a big stick if the world knows you won't use it. Obama's problem is that he has the big stick, but he forgot where he put it.
Hardly. Our military is just as strong as before and everyone still knows it.
And they also know that we won't torture. They also know we will play by the rules.
And - most importantly of all - they know our POTUS is a coward.
