Obama Continues Rightward Foreign Policy Tilt « John Bracken ↪

In recent weeks, I’ve noted Obama’s apparent tack rightward on Colombia , and Israel-Palestine and Iran. Today, in an interview with Jorge Ramos, Obama threatened sanctions against Venezuela, calling Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez is a “threat” to the national security of the U.S. The latter statement is new– last month in a speech, he said that Venezuela does not “pose a serious threat to the U.S.” Will Obama move even further to the right next month to compensate for McCain’s visit to Colombia?
