Presidenting is hard! But, hey, it involves sanctions or something.

Fox News’ Ed Henry questioned President Obama on the Obama Doctrine during a press conference in the Philippines.
Asked by @edhenryTV to describe the Obama Doctrine, @BarackObama says, "I doubt I am going to have time to outline my entire foreign policy"

Whatever, rubes! It’s too time-consuming and all. Plus, you wouldn’t understand the nuance-y nuance and stuff.
Citizens graciously help the president out.
.@jonkarl @edhenryTV @BarackObama What foreign policy?!? Leading from behind? Reset? Red lines? Empty threats? That took 3 seconds…

ABC’s Jonathan Karl offered up his summation of the Obama Doctrine.
Obama declines to define an Obama Doctrine but his comments boil down to this: slowly & steadily advance US interests, avoid unnecessary war

@jonkarl Please send your summary to the president so he can put the Obama Doctrine on an index card, and refer to it frequently.

Heh.
And this Twitter user summed it up in one word:
@cnn #ObamaInManila #Obama doctrine is cowardice

O-Bam!
Here is a follow-up exit question for the media:
@jonkarl @edhenryTV @BarackObama Ha! I was thinking about how Palin was excoriated over Bush Doctrine & where is Obama Doctrine? Hmmm, MSM?
