Yes there is. He could do what Regan did when citizens (subjects) of the USSR started protestring, and Regan made it clear that freeedom, and not tyranny, is what's best for the world. Regan had no problem calling the Soviet Union "evil", he did it all the time. And just like today, all the liberals told him not to say it. Regan realized that battle, the Cold War, was going to have a winner and a loser, and he made it crystal clear where we would be when it was over. And he was right.
Real, decisive leadership involves calling a spade a spade. We elected a guy who likes to vote "present", instead of yea or nea, on any tough issue. Obama is a joke. And what no one is saying is that Hilary has to be the worst Secstate of the last 100 years. In terms of foreign policy, they can't get one right even by accident.
Protesters get slaughtered in Iran, Obama/Clinton don't utter a peep. China refuses any concessions. European nations refuse to send additional troops to Afghanistan, and they refuse to finance their own stimulus packages. Iran gets closer and closer to nukes. The North Koreans are running amuck.
They are an absolute joke, we'd be better off with Abbott and Costello. Obama believes, he genuinely believes, he can charm all our enemies into liking us. If only that were so, but it ain't...
