Publisher's Synopsis
As President, Barack Obama has conducted U.S. foreign policy by exclusively adopting the dictates and direction of the United Nations worldview of Multi-National global governance - however, to the detriment of optimally advancing and protecting the best National Security interests of the American People. Specifically, there exists a stark divergence between the competing geo-political philosophies of 1) the United States as the dominant player in world affairs and "an indispensable force for good" (i.e. American Exceptionalism) which President Barack Obama rejects, in favor of 2) Obama's demonstrated preference for the U.N. Multi-National (co-equal nations) worldview of global governance (i.e. The Obama Doctrine of "Leading from Behind"). By consciously shunning the decades-old dominance of the United States as the world's leading nation in geo-political influence, President Obama's actions have served to diminish ("taken down") the stature of the future role of the United States in world affairs. Indeed, in promoting a diminished role for America in world affairs, Barack Obama is consciously serving the cause of, conversely, 1) raising the prominence of the United Nations as the true heir to, what the world body believes, is its rightful and exclusive priority role in dominating global governance in the 21st Century while correspondingly, 2) raising the stature and influence of its next U.N. Secretary-General in particular. Second, in his conduct of U.S. foreign policy - by mirroring the agenda of the U.N. Multi-National model of global governance - Barack Obama has optimally laid the groundwork as a prelude in his desire to become the next U.N. Secretary-General after leaving the White House in 2017. However, President Obama cannot escape that, from the outset, he had a moral obligation to have disclosed to the American People 1) his intent to conduct U.S. foreign policy exclusively through the prism and dictates of United Nations dogma and 2) any ancillary ambition he may have to become the next U.N. Secretary-General - precisely because the voting electorate had the right to know. The American electorate could then have decided if the decision-making process of Barack Obama, as President of the United States, had also conflicted with or been primarily driven by any quest by Barack Obama to, one day, become the next Secretary-General of the United Nations. In his signature style, Gary R. Patterson meticulously and compellingly scrutinizes Barack Obama's major foreign policy decisions and events that have occurred during his Presidency specifically to the words, speeches and U.N. policy statements of both the current and former Secretaries-General of the United Nations over the past to two decades, Ban Ki-moon and Kofi Annan. Patterson's analysis convincingly suggests a concerted effort by President Obama, in his conduct of U.S. foreign policy, to both emulate and implement the dictates and global governance policies of the United Nations. Although, many times those decisions appear to be contradictory and at cross-purposes with Barack Obama's principal responsibility to - as President of the United States - serve the best National Security interests of the American People. The Multi-National Takedown of America - As A Prelude to Barack Obama's Desire to Become the Next Secretary-General of the United Nations is Gary R. Patterson's fifth book in the last seven years - all of which critique the Presidency of Barack Obama.
