Is Obama viewed as "Weak" by Foreign Leaders?
No. He's seen what's referred to as a "rational actor", meaning that he doesn't do stupid crap. It's just that most of the world's leaders know he's got to deal with a Congress controlled by irrational actors, for whom stupid crap is a way of life e.g. passing fifty-odd bills to try to take away what the rest of the free world takes for granted - access to quality health insurance for those who can't afford it.

You seriously think that Putin and Netenyahu see Obama as a "rational actor"? You seriously think the Saudis or the Chinese who rushed Snowden off to Russia from Hong Kong, you seriously think they see Obama as a "rational actor"?

Lol !!
Destabilizing the Middle east wasn't rational, it was stupid and irresponsible as all get out.
From Egypts " Arab Spring " to Lybia to Isis Obama's a walking Foreign Policy disaster.
Lol...a " rational actor " ? You apologist crack me up.

It was President Bush who Destabilized the Middle East, you crack me up. ISIS would not exist today if Bush didn't invade Iraq.
I don't see what's not "rational" about him. He's often indecisive, but I wouldn't say he acts irrationally.
Putin is quite often irrational.
This is poppycock. The CIA had no more input in the Maidan revolution than it had in multiple Middle East revolutions during the 2010-2012 Arab Spring. The CIA was actually caught flatfooted in all of these events.I don't think Putin is irrational if you understand Russian history and the Russian mindset. Obama had the CIA oust the Russian backed elected leader of Ukraine.

And by the way Montecresto, not even your best-bud Putin promotes that old CIAdidit poppycock. Here is what Putin said to the Russian people about the 2014 Ukraine revolution during his annual call-in television show on 16 April 2015.Laugh out loud.

"What happened? People simply got sick and tired of poverty, stealing and the impudence of the authorities, their relentless greed and corruption, from oligarchs who climbed to power. People got fed up with all this. Didn’t we have the same in the 1990s? We have had all this. We have been through all this. And this takes place everywhere, so it happened in Ukraine."
No, not really.

Putin tells Obama to jump and how high. He pulled out of Iraq and now it's in flames along with the rest of the middle east. Iran has Obama by the balls while Obama begs them for a deal. etc etc This is the leaderless lead from behind president in US history.
