They portray him as a rock star who won a Nobel prize on the basis of promise rather than performance. They scoff at his popularity, and note that the Middle East remains intractable, North Korea nuclear, Iraq and Afghanistan unsettled, and Iran difficult.
批评人士认为，奥巴马只是光说不练。更像一个获得诺贝尔奖的摇滚明星，只知道到处承诺，没干什么实事。他们对他的欢迎度也嗤之以鼻，中东地区依然问题重重，朝鲜的核武器，伊拉克和阿富汗战争还未解决，伊朗也还是个大问题。但是，坦率来说，没有人会认为这些问题能在短期内得到解决。当年布什和切尼的所谓硬实力的方法同样没能解决这些问题。
