OH just wait till Europe gets a whiff of Obama's Protectionist policies. I was hoping Obama's pontifications on that was just democrat election year red meat. Now I am not so sure.
See The Limits of Reinvention If you think the U.S. was hated for being strong, wait until you see how it’s despised for being weak.
What worries me is Obama's consistent inability to look at the long-term effects of his policies. He's so busy trying to please everybody that he may see that the Europeans think of him as weak and he will over compensate and do something stupid in order to look "strong". The problem with him is that he isn't as smart as the press makes him out to be and he depends too much on the opinions of others. Well, in Washington, there are plenty of opinions and not all of them are good, and worst of all, it's the far left "progressives" that has his ear most of the time.
ReplyDeleteObam,a seems stubborn in a way I did not think he would be. What happened to this "pragamtic guy" they were all saying he was at the beginning of his term
