Patriot Politics

Re: the Obama appearance on Letterman.  Was anyone else thinking Bill Clinton had been there, done a better job with Arsenio?  You’ve got to admit, at least Bill on the sax was entertaining strategy.

Even the All-Obama, All The Time lamestream media is starting to wonder about this guy.  You know, earlier this year we heard that the President was so busy working on domestic issues like the economy and such that he couldn’t be bothered with the niceties for Gordon Brown and others.  If that’s the case, why all the face time on the networks?

Seems like he can’t be bothered with the niceties for Poland and the rest of Eastern Europe either.  Stumblebum reveals his true colors with every foreign policy mis-step, and crafts the swan song for U.S. pre-eminence in the world theater.

What can our enemies be thinking if this is the thinking of our friends?

Regimes in Moscow, Pyongyang and Tehran simply pocket his concessions and carry on as before. The picture emerging from the White House is a disturbing one, of timidity, clumsiness and short-term calculation. Some say he is the weakest president since Jimmy Carter…

But for what? Mr Obama has tactics a plenty – calm and patient engagement with unpleasant regimes, finding common interests, appealing to shared values – but where is the strategy? What, exactly, did “Change you can believe in” – the hallmark slogan of his campaign – actually mean?[With all due respect, shouldn't that question have been asked prior to the election when the Telegraph endorsed him?  Just sayin' . . .]

. . .The man who has run nothing more demanding than the Harvard Law Review is beginning to look out of his depth in the world’s top job. His credibility is seeping away, and it will require concrete achievements rather than more soaring oratory to recover it.

Let’s not hold our breath.
