I agree with most of what you have said except Obama refocusing on the enemy. On that note you are so objectively wrong it is comical.

He reaches out to our enemies and criticizes our allies. He has a pre-9/11 mentality that terrorism is a law enforcement issue so terrorists get Miranda rights instead of being held as an illegal enemy combatant that deserves neither the rights of a U.S. citizen nor an enemy combatant in military uniform covered under the Geneva Convention. As Scott Brown rightly put it, they are more interested in using our money to defend terrorists than killing them.

After dithering for months, he shorted the troop level request of his own military commanders as if a community agitator has a clue. He demoralized our troops while he gazed at his navel and he put them at unnecessary risk by shorting McChrystal's request.

He and his incompetent AG Eric Holder are proposing to put millions of New Yorkers at risk by holding trials in NYC rather than military tribunals in Guantanamo. Not to mention wasting $200M. And all this risking acquittal because everyone, including the President, have guaranteed a conviction and execution sending the message to our enemies and allies that this is a kangaroo court.

He is likewise gazing at his navel about Iran and we are seeing what happens when you appear weak and feckless (which in his case is not appearance). You embolden your enemies and you alienate your allies.

He gave up on missile defense for the Czech Republic and Poland, two of our most staunch allies of the former Soviet countries.

I could go on and on about why we are not properly focused on the dangers of the world.
