The Heritage Foundation’s Amy Payne points out the five ways President Obama’s speech at the United Nations disappointed both the U.N. and the American people.

In this continuation of his apology tour, the President scrapped his original speech outline. He instead focused on the controversial YouTube video that the administration claims sparked recent anti-American attacks in the Middle East, including the September 11 murder of the U.S. ambassador to Libya.

Making this video the focus of his speech was inappropriate. He should have used the international platform to make an unapologetic case for freedom. The President failed the American people—and America’s allies—in five major ways.

What did you think of the President’s speech?

What did you expect from an amateur with no experience for the job he holds? Even after 3.5 years of on the job training, his ineptitude is flagrant. He is, however, a wonderful speaker, but, again, that is how he got his present job.

Virginia Kesler - September 27, 2012

The speech was pathetic!

The man is so wrapped p in his supposed celebrity and reelection that he is unable to concentrate on anything else.
His constant blaming of Bush and his unfounded attacks on Romney show him to be weak. He is no leader and we desperately need one.

I think that the most startling thing the President said was: “The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.” Since he knew within 24-hours of the attack in Libya that it was terrorist and not some stupid clip on YouTube to say this is stupid. It plays right into the hands of madmen who want to tear down our 1st Amendment rights. It makes me wonder that if what he says are just words for an audience of despots and would he really stand to protect our Consitution and our right of freedom of expression.

He thinks that if he says it often enough and to enough people that it will be true. He knows it’s not and we know it’s not.

Dean G.Newman - September 27, 2012

The President’s speech on an international stage was lousy as usual. He messed up a great opportunity to further the country’s cause by attempting to further his own cause.

Casey Carlton - September 27, 2012

So, what is so different about this speech? Obama gets so carried away with the sound of his own voice that it seems he just can’t stop, provided the teleprompter is still running. Content? None, same as always. If this is oratory, then every donkey in the corral should be a public speaker.

N. Pace - September 27, 2012

Discraceful. He is clueless! Pontification is not one of his strong points. Actually, he has none.

rmadd - September 27, 2012

The 6th way he was a disappointment, the clown showed up, and again bowed to despots of the world.

Ron Marionneaux - September 27, 2012

No surprise. He continues to appease our enemies and jeopardize the security of this country.

Myrna Rochelle - September 27, 2012

It has gotten to the point that his speeches to anyone are such an embarrassment to the American people that I can hardly listen to him. If there are any apoligies to be made, we should apolize for having such an unpresidential person representing our country.

Richard Gaskill - September 27, 2012

I can`t rember the last time I heard some one talk so much,and say nothing.All Obama is trying to do,is to try and mask his left wing socicalist communist style goverment down our throats.How long is it going to take to wake Americia up to this mans distructive style of goverment to continue before it`s to late.Remember on 11/06/2012,this has to stop!

Edward Sobus - September 27, 2012

The man apologized again and basically said Islam was going to rule the world. We all know that he is beyond a pathetic excuse for a world leader. He constantly proves it almost daily. I cannot wait for the election. I also dread what he might do between the time he loses and the time before Romney is sworn in.

Steven Rankens - September 27, 2012

This President refuses to acknowledge that the attacks in Libya were terrorists, planned and executed by al qaeda. Although everyone in his administration has said it was a terrorist attack! Through his appeasement, and apologies he is demonstrating to our enemies that were projecting a naive attitude, not of strength or weakness. He does not want to say anything or do anything between now and the election, to keep any gaffes or missteps from hurting his image. That’s the problem with Mr. Glamorous, it’s about him. He has failed the American people, our country, our allies, and the families of our dead patriots! Instead of Hope and Change, is now ” no I can’t”. Obama is more concerned with with his, ” I’m smarter than you mentality, don’t tell me what to do”, and being the campaigner in chief, he has never attempted to be a leader. His arrogant attitude makes me want to vomit every time I see him or listen to him. His the most incompetent, dangerous President we have ever had. If he keep’s claiming the “noise” about Iran is just that, I have a bad feeling, lots of people are going to die because of his lack of leadership. If that happens, I wonder what or who he will blame to cover his ignorant, sorry butt. CHANGE TO A NEW LEADER!

Ellen - September 27, 2012

As usual our dictator in chief sided with our enemies and attacked our allies. It was a disgrace to U.S. citizens to have to listen to this president speak.

Gail Godsey - September 27, 2012

Obama is not a patriot and no friend of America – never has been – and the sooner he is removed from office the better for the USA. My concern is the tremendous damage he can do between now and the inauguration of Mitt Romey.

Gene Wilkison - September 27, 2012

Since I can’t stand to listen to Obama talk, I can’t stomach watching the man on TV and I don’t believe a word he says, I didn’t hear his speech to the UN Assembly. I figure I’ll find out all I need to know about his UN speech from you folks at Heritage and from Fox News.

Larry - September 27, 2012

Obama hates what America stands for. His loyalty is to islam. When he speaks, what he feels comes out. He is a disgrace to this nation. How he found enough fools to elect him is beyond me.

Dennis Crouch - September 27, 2012

His lack of committment and support to our US Constitution and Freedom of Speech was clear. His continual apologetic manner throughout the speech and throughout his presidency is appalling.

Catherine - September 27, 2012

This man is such a pathetic egotist and a lier. He does not know how to tell the truth. His whole life has been a lie. Everything about this man is false from beginning to end. He has no respect for this great country or anything it stands for — all he wants to do is bring us to our knees. Unfortunately, he is succeeding. Where are our elected officials? Where are our leaders? Speak out! So what if the DOJ goes after you; We The People will stand behind you — Speak Out, I beg of you before it is too late. This dictator must be stopped.
Refusing to meet with Netanyahu — What a disgrace! Unforgiveable! Unheard of! But the Muslim Brotherhood are in power, and in Washington D,C.! and in Chicago! Wake up America! This is a Republic, but only for as long as we can keep it. We can’t keep it with an uneducated populous.

Katherine McLeister - September 27, 2012

The world is laughing. The President’s voice and actions completely the opposite of what our country stands for. Wake up voters!

Gmalaska - September 27, 2012

Obama is a mealy-mouthed liar who will say anything to further his Communist agenda. He hates America and wants to bring us down. We need to vote him out.

John Bernick - September 28, 2012

Obama said: “The future must not belong to those that SLANDER the prophet of Islam.” He might as well say that the future belongs to Islam. This president can lie, slander, and cheat all day long and NO ONE holds him accountable. Not even Romney!

Delbert Olson - September 28, 2012

Obama is still trying to do a victory lap for winning “the war on terror” and killing Osama. So he doesn’t want to acknowledge that terrorist are still out there and he hardly made a dent. It sounds better to blame a movie than admit his apologies are not making the world safer.

Jeff Yerkes - September 28, 2012

Every sentence was a lie!!!

Robert Davidson - September 28, 2012

The man is without a clue. He makes things up in his mind and later believes them to be true. Case in point, rather than following the script, he ad lib based upon his naive thought. I guess that’s what you get when you vote for a neighborhood organizer without a clue in the real world. If we elect this man again, we are the fools!

Craig Yelton - September 28, 2012

I didn’t listen to his speach and don’t ever listen to him due to the fact that every time he opens his pie hole and flaps his lips a lie falls out!

Mr. Lay - September 29, 2012

Get him out of office….Vote Conservativeeee

Jack Leach - September 29, 2012

Yes Yes, Horrible. This President is a big joke, and no body can take him seriously anymore

Victress Jenkins - September 29, 2012

Stop talking about the video and defend freedom!! What did our government think was going on – a local riot for food? Some folks don’t need a reason to attack our country!! Why isn’t our country helping the Syrian refugees who have fled their country?

Defending our country should be one of the president’s top priorities!!! Also defending our First Amendment rights including the rights of conscience!!

Holly Chapo - September 30, 2012

I can’t listen to this miserable excuse for a president. I do catch bits and pieces of his arrogant and stupid pronouncements from Rush, Sean and Mark Levin. What I heard was abyssmal. He’s far worse than a disappointment. He’s a traitor to the American way of life, to traditional American values and to the 2 + centuries of hard work needed to build this great, exceptional nation.

Jack Leach - September 30, 2012

Get Obama out of office

Carolyn Abbate - October 3, 2012

This man has no concern regarding the future of this country, as long as he has the focus on HIMSELF!! All the blessings he has enjoyed came to him through the benevolence of what our country stands for in this dangerous and violent world. Unfortunately, he has done nothing of substance to reveal HIS so-called VALUE as the leader of the FREE WORLD. This is amazing, he actually doesn’t seem to realize how stupid & weak he sounds to those despots sitting in OUR SEATS, paid by US money. The only thing he didn’t do, was BOW & say THANK YOU, or maybe he did….I was too disgusted to wait for the FINISH of his bloviation (is that a word?) to these hypocrites!!

Randell M Broussard - October 5, 2012

This man is so lacking in character, he makes Jimmy Carter almost palatable, but not quite. The only difference in the two men is, obama is a bigger failure as a leader.
