You can learn a lot about those with whom you disagree by just listening to what they are saying about Barack Obama. Strangely, sometimes they say the same thing you do, but they see it as positive instead of disastrous.

That’s the case with an op-ed in the New York Times today, where writer Roger Cohen sums up what he calls “The Obama Doctrine” very well.

Subtly? Subtly? Really?

His “subtle” removal of American exceptionalism is like the “unexpected” economic disasters which he has been creating!
