VDH Bump.
Instead, like any good college dean, Obama is now running a faculty seminar on a global scale.
Consensus diplomacy, have we really come to this?
The next two years will harvest the result of sowing
these twisted seeds.
It's not "doubtful", it's a slam-dunk.
VDH eloquently describes the massive FAIL of the current occupier of the White House. Good read.
In 0bama's case that would be what? Britain?
This is frightening. WE can't take much more. Certainly not four more years after 2012. In the next election, more than ever before, winning is everything.
There are a lot of gems here.
And how refreshing to get the entire article instead of the excerpts that are all to common now.
Gangster government is re-emerging all over the planet and Zero is playing Professor Patty-cake. What a stooge. The Wilson/Carter analogy is apt but should be multiplyed by, oh... 1000%.
That would be "multiplied" of course, although I did by a case of multy-ply at Sam's Club last week.
By??
I quit.
Hey.... English is tuff. Ask any native Texan.
Moral equivalency has always been able to cloud that difference by sticking strictly to a discussion of principle. There is, if one squints hard enough, no difference to be discerned between a man killed as collateral damage during our assault on Saddam and 300,000 murdered by his secret police. "It's all the same thing." It isn't, of course, but if one attempts to run a foreign policy on the basis that it is, one gets the inchoate hash that is 0bama's foreign policy.
The real problem is that in publicly making a major objective of foreign policy "to improve America's image in the world" one places the premium on public relations rather than results. Image in whose eyes? Would that be a foreign press and cultural elite imbued with the same ideals? Surely the circular futility of this is obvious, but not, presumably, to the participants.
The result is an America that will not defend freedom but will happily fill the air with the same gooey platitudes as those who have concerns other than freedom, and no intention of defending it. It's a step forward for celebrity and airy vacuity, a step backward for actual civilization.
VDH, Thomas Sowell, Walter Williams, and Mark Steyn...for starters.
An Ivy League education, while not an automatic disqualifier, would certainly be a strike against an applicant.
Anybody who's worked on Wall Street for more than 10 years...fuhgeddaboutit! And that goes double for any alumnus of Goldman Sachs.
First Executive Order? Courtesy of The Bard: kill all the lawyers.
BTTT

What an excellent summation!!!
Name one. Name a "wise man" in the 0bama adminstration.
You see, it's doubtful that the world can take another three years of this.
So,... what is to be done ?
VDH doesn’t dissect Obama diplomacy, he puts it though a sasuage grinder
What comes out of the end ain’t sausage either
VDH *Bump*
