HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Sorry, but whatever you think of Obama and the death of bin Laden this editorial by Charles “Sauer” Krauthammer is magnificently poorly-timed:
it surely is an accurate description, from President Obama’s shocking passivity during Iran’s 2009 Green Revolution to his dithering on Libya, acting at the very last moment, and then handing off to a bickering coalition, yielding the current bloody stalemate. It’s been a foreign policy of hesitation, delay, and indecision, marked by plaintive appeals to the (fictional) “international community” to do what only America can.
But underlying that style, assures this adviser, there really are ideas. Indeed, “two unspoken beliefs,” explains Lizza: “That the relative power of the U.S. is declining, as rivals like China rise, and that the U.S. is reviled in many parts of the world.”
Amazing. This is why Obama is deliberately diminishing America’s presence, standing, and leadership in the world?
BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHAHA! Krauthammer must have dropped more than a few deuces in his adult diapers this morning after reading the news: oh my gosh:
It is the fate of any assertive superpower to be envied, denounced, and blamed for everything under the sun. Nothing has changed. Moreover, if we’re so reviled, why, during the massive unrest in Tunisia, Egypt, Bahrain, Yemen, Jordan, and Syria, have anti-American demonstrations been such a rarity?
Who truly reviles America the hegemon? The world that Obama lived in and that shaped him intellectually: the elite universities; his Hyde Park milieu (including his not-to-be-mentioned friends, William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn); the church he attended for two decades, ringing with sermons more virulently anti-American than anything heard in today’s full-throated uprising of the Arab street.
It is the liberal elites who revile the American colossus and devoutly wish to see it cut down to size. Leading from behind – diminishing America’s assertiveness – is a reaction to their view of America, not the world’s.
BWA-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!

I admire you. I haven’t been able to stomach Krackhammer for a couple of years.
