That phrase (almost) says it all folks! https://stateofthenation2012.com/?p=39036
The article I quoted it from regarding our Nobel Peace Prize Winner President
leaves out the part how he supports massive investment in new nukes even while
laying wreaths and giving lovely speeches in Hiroshima about eliminating nuclear weapons.

His willingness to spend up to a trillion dollars to “modernize” the US nuclear arsenal
has one Senator outing him for his hypocrisy: http://theintercept.com/2016/05/27/senator-scolds-obama-for-preaching-nuclear-temperance-from-a-bar-stool/
Senator Markey is the rare liberal with the courage to take on our war-making
Chief Executive. Most of those on the “left” are virtually indistinguishable from the
Neocons on the “right” who dominated the Bush Administration.
That includes Hillary Clinton who is proudly hawkish about US intervention around the globe and Bernie Sanders by default for his failure to pound away at the disaster of our foreign policy in Libya, Iraq, Ukraine, Syria, Yemen and elsewhere.
Why is it that only Donald Trump lambastes Neocon “losers” like Bill Kristol for their criminal wars based on lies rather than so-called liberals like Obama, Hillary and Bernie? http://www.infowars.com/trump-slams-embarrassed-loser-kristol-over-third-party-threat/
In addition to being “The Drone Ranger” President Obama now owns the grim distinction
of leading a nation continuously at war longer than any of his predecessors. This is why
some are calling for the revocation of Obama’s Peace Prize:

That and a foreign policy that continues to challenge Russia and China aggressively every
chance it gets at the risk of triggering a final conflagration of nuclear war.

As Andrew Bacevich and many others are stating, we need a new foreign policy that
moves away from the failed approach that we’ve been following since the end of the
Cold War: http://antiwar.com/blog/2016/05/26/andrew-bacevich-talk-has-u-s-foreign-policy-since-the-end-of-the-cold-war-made-america-safer/
