The President's foreign policy has been disastrous for more than 6 years. If you are keeping score at home on this deal with Iran, feel free to add another major error in the box score, labeled, ``The Failed Obama Doctrine.'' President Obama's insistence on force-feeding a deal with Iran is troubling. The unrelenting attempt to boost his legacy has created a gross lack of discernment. The President and his State Department have left a trail of detrimental decisions with deteriorating relationships throughout the world. How can we forget the President's blurred red lines in demanding that Syria's Assad end his human rights violation? After the President drew his line in the sand, Assad responded with the bombing of hospitals and the use of chemical weapons against his own people. The President has failed to show any initiative or strategy and has consistently attempted to lead from behind. Meanwhile, of all people, Russia's Vladimir Putin was the one who intervened in this international crisis. Speaking of Putin, the President's posture with Putin has been pitiful. Of course, it was President Obama who mocked Presidential candidate Mitt Romeny's 1980s concern of Russia being a threat. Maybe it is time President Obama revisited Ronald Reagan's foreign policy of the 1980s. Wasn't it Vice President Joe Biden that claimed the President's work in Iraq would be one of the greatest achievements of this administration?…
