NPR/Diane Rehm Show running today with RW foreign policy memes about President Obama.

They opened the show stating that while President Obama's numbers on the economy have gone up, his foreign policy numbers have supposedly gone down (I must have missed the polling on this). The host, Tom Jelton(sp?) talked about all of the foreign policy crises during the past 18 months, played a puke-worthy clip of Romney speaking at a rally, and then played a clip of President Obama's speech yesterday at the UN.
He and the guests talked about how President Obama wasn't "close" to world leaders and were suggesting that President Obama is essentially trying to "run out the clock" on Iran and Syria for the rest of the election and that world leaders apparently are feeling like they're waiting on him to make decisions due to the election and wanting the election to be over soon (which, actually, I couldn't agree with more). That was all I caught of it (will probably go back and get the podcast tomorrow) but, as much as I don't want to spread junk like this around here, we should probably know what's coming down the pike and what the "punditocracy" is/will be discussing.
The whole discussion left me wondering, what exactly do they expect President Obama/United States to do in terms of dealing with things in the rest of the world, particularly the ME, and how much control do they expect him to be able to have over the decisions made in other countries, particularly those made by the people in other countries? I don't know whether the Muslim Brotherhood gaining power in Egypt is a good thing or a bad thing but that seems to me to be beside the point in terms of recognizing the rights of people in Egypt to decide to put them in power. Are people like Romney, et. al suggesting that we intervene to make sure that people in other countries "choose" only certain people to be in charge? As for what happened to Ambassador Stevens, do Romney, et. al think that we need to bomb/invade Libya in response?
I'm hearing mostly criticism of one sort or another about President Obama's foreign policy but no alternative proposals/ideas from Republicans or Romney in particular (no surprise there, of course), just vague and empty slogans about "American Exceptionalism".
