In an article titled, “Refusal to Lead,” Republican senator Marco Rubio writes, “The biggest foreign policy problem facing the United States right now is not too much U.S. engagement, but the danger of a world in which we increasingly refuse to lead. There are few global challenges that can be solved without decisive American leadership.”

Rubio contends that Obama just ignores the world’s problems. “The president’s policies have often, in effect, been to just ignore many of these problems. He seems to believe that if left untouched, they will either go away or be solved by others, without consequences for the American people. Unfortunately, this misguided view is also shared by some in my own party,” he writes.
