◼ America needs more than hope. It needs leadership. That is why The Post today endorses the candidacy of Mitt Romney for president of the United States. - New York Post
Four years ago, Obama vowed “to restore America’s standing in the world.” But he has sown rancor and confusion instead.
Our friends don’t know if they’re still our friends; our enemies wonder whether we have the courage to stand up to them.
The result has been a cataclysmic breakdown of US leadership in the Middle East.
Israel — and not just Israel — questions whether Obama is committed to curbing Iran’s nuclear threat.
Syria is in open civil war, while Egypt and Libya teeter on the brink. Osama bin Laden may be dead, but al Qaeda has hardly been contained — as Benghazi tragically proved.
In contrast, the smoke now hanging over the Middle East testifies to Obama’s inability to get the job done.
Any job.
Because, in the end, the fundamental problem is the president’s core philosophy.
He believes in equality of outcome, not equality of opportunity — and that is not how America is supposed to work.
America is not working right now.
Forward?
For four more years?
We think not.
Mitt Romney for president.
