In the meantime, he is reorienting our foreign policy toward a surging Asia and concentrating on rebuilding the American economy.

Maybe they could make a movie, so I can find out when that happened

This guy must spend a lot of time talking to a mirror

Shorter Dionne:

I am still so in love with Obama that I will make up justifications for his failures and inadequacy, no matter what.

The calculus of costs and benefits is not at all clear to him or to his advisers.

Taken generically, this is one of the most accurate things ever written about Obama and his administration.

As long as we pay people to not work we will always be in decline. Money and wealth are not everything that is valuable.

Obama believes it is time for another nation to step up and be the world’s super power.
He believes wealthy Americans need to have their assets seized as if they are convicted drug dealers who grew their wealth illegally or immorally.
American superiority is not his first priority.

Only our rancid domestic politics stands in our way, and getting beyond our divisions requires Obama to build support for the consensus that’s waiting to be born. That’s why he should not shrink from a broad debate about our purposes in the world. He should welcome it, and join it.

Obama defines rancid domestic politics. His default position is to deal in bad faith. The willful blindness of the left is truly amazing.

My niece just sent me a video of a woman who knocks out another woman in a checkout line who complained about her talking too loudly and swearing on her phone. No one does anything except scold her. She walks out with no one even trying to stop her.

Aside from EJ’s rosy outlook and apologies for his messiah, we are well into decline.
