Faith, Freedom, and Foreign Policy: GOPs Dissect Obama Record

Christie: Obama’s “pulling back of American influence and American ideas across the world is having catastrophic effects.”

WASHINGTON – Republican lawmakers at an evangelical conference this month lambasted the Obama administration’s handling of recent global events, highlighting what they called a lack of leadership.

“All of these things are happening, in my opinion, because of a lack of clarity and principle in American leadership in the statement of who we are,” New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie said at the Faith & Freedom Coalition’s “Road to Majority” event.

He said leadership abroad requires making sure “our friends know who our friends are, and that our adversaries know who they are as well.”
