Every analyst I know is baffled by the Obama administration. The Israeli government is baffled; the Arab governments of the Middle East are baffled; European foreign ministries are baffled; and the journalists and thinktankers and camp-followers are baffled. One hears different things from source one consults; the more authoritative the source, the more confusing the result.
Many conjectures as to this state of affairs are possible. My best working hypothesis is that the administration is the simple reflection of the operating style of the president, whom I qualified as “the political equivalent of a sociopath” in a Feb. 26, 2008 analysis.
That might work for a campaign, but not for a government. Things are blowing up in Washington’s face, and will do so in an ever-more alarming fashion.

President Obama set the stage for such problems by making Israel the cuprit for war in the Middle East, first by blaming Israeli apartment construction in Jerusalem (as it happened in the no-man’s land of Ramat Shlomo which would remain in Israeli hands under any conceivable partition of the city), but most egregiously by voting for a UN resolution demanding that Israel open its nuclear facilities to international inspection.The US took the position that Israel rather than Iran is the nuclear offender in the Middle East, as a matter of black-and-white official results.

In so many ways, in so many places, chaos is setting in and I fear stability is a long way off.

How Kerryesque!
If they would stop looking at Obama as pResident and started looking at him as just another black Muslim, everything would become simple for them.

Baffled? Who’s baffled? We ARE NOT baffled. We warned y’all in October 2008!

Zero looking for a Roosevelt moment(Pearl Harbor). This is the danger of having a nuke arsenal in the hands of a narcissist/sociopath/child Pres.
the best descriptive is incompetent and then irrelevant.
One begatteth the other. Both are now evident to all.
The next phase is “gone” as in more trouble than he is worth
BAFFLED???
What's to be baffled about?
Yes, Obama is a sociapathic liar and a pathological narcissist...but what's baffling?
Brush away all the lies and the fluff and lint and the truth is there for all to see.
He grew up muslim, got religion in an anti-Semitic church from an Islamic studies major as mentor, was alleged to have been put through college and law school (financially) by a hardcore anti-Semite and black muslim Khalid Mansour, has bowed to the Saudi king but shows Netanyahu out of the WH by the kitchen exit.
BAFFLING???
What the h$ll could possibly be baffling about Obama and his love of all things muslim?
bfl
Political equivalent?
A sociopath is a sociopath.
I’m betting there’s a very fine line, and a lot of overlap,
between being a narcissist and a sociopath.
A lot of other people were fooled: Obama was so smart, so sophisticated, so cool, so moderate, so post-partisan. Others continue to be astonished because they have assumptions of how the president of the United States is supposed to conduct policy, and they can't believe that a man can occupy that position and not conform to the accepted status quo, namely that the US has certain foreign policy and national security interests and will adopt policies to defend those interests.
And to be fair, the author of this article, David Goldman, was one of the few columnists who warned America what sort of man they were electing.
If the “Republican” had any stones, they would go on the offensive daily until impeachment looked like the best alternative.
They don’t.
We are in dire, repeat DIRE need of American leadership.
Aint nobody at the helm.
I have always admired Spengler, but there have been times his statements about Islam have made me wonder if he hadn't gone native.
I am baffled why he would be baffled, given his first hand experience in the islamic world. Makes me wonder if he got so close to Islamic world that he lost sight of the forest.
Scary stuff.
