"We now know the answer to the question of whether he's good at answering the phone when it rings at 3 a.m. to tell him there's a crisis"

BULL.

The Iraq time table was settled by W before he left office. Iraq rejected keeping the number of troops there Obama wanted beyond that date so Obama had no choice.

Getting Osama bin Laden? NO president would've made a different call. There was no choice.

Libya? He injected us into a civil war, thumbing his nose at the congress and American people. Unable to negotiate his departure, the dictator was ultimately murdered in cold blood by forces Obama recognized in August as the legitimate rulers of Libya. Gaddafi never saw a trial for his crimes. Now the body's on full display in the most barbaric way. Unlike the capture, trial and execution of Saddam, this is a fiasco.

None a single one of these qualifies as a "3 a.m." crisis.

Let's look at how he botched Japan's quake-tsunami-nuclear-power crisis. Japan asked for help and Obama's regime demanded unacceptable preconditions.

Let's look at how he handled Egypt. Or Iran's revolt. Or Palestinian statehood. Or the Euro crisis.

9/11 is a crisis. Missiles in Cuba is a crisis. Iraq invading Kuwait is a crisis. Those presidents stepped up.

Obama acts only to keep his hands clean while claiming maximum credit and deflecting all blame.
