#2 We are paying the price for shallow thinking at the polls last November, and the payments will continue for most of four more years.

#3 Excerpt from the WaPo Sunday Edition:

The promises, at a two-day summit marking NATO's 60th anniversary, constituted a sweeping demonstration of support for the new administration's leadership in what has become the alliance's main mission of the moment.

How is it that when NATOs other 27 member-states only pledge three thousand non-combat troops can any lucid observer possibly consider this a sweeping demonstration of support? Once again, the apologists for Obama are asking for another colossal leap in logic. He didnt get squat for his concessions at the G20. Hes essentially thrown Poland twoards the Bear Cave. And he went hat in hand to NATO and got snubbed. The MSM is incapable of admitting that the man who continues to vilify his predecessor and promised a new "vision of cooperation with Allies" has been nothing more then an abject failure in foreign policy. But...hey... whats really important isdidnt Michelle look elegant?
