President Barack Obama plans to use his commencement address today at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, New York, to present a foreign-policy vision that balances the nation’s commitments against the limits of American military, economic and political power.
That clarity has been lacking, according to critics at home and abroad, who cast the president as weak and ineffective.
Even some Obama supporters say the effort to explain his foreign policy is overdue in a nation that polls show has grown weary of costly overseas entanglements.
