When France chides you for appeasement, you know you're scraping bottom. Just how low we've sunk was demonstrated by the Obama administration's satisfaction when Russia's president said of Iran, after meeting President Obama at the UN, that "sanctions are seldom productive, but they are sometimes inevitable."

I just had a thought.

This unbelievable ignoramus may have held-fire on Iran in the Security Council so that he could better press his case for Chicago 2016 in front of the Olympic Committee, better make the case that this is a new America (meaning not the America of George Bush anymore).

If that’s the case, then he’s an even bigger ignoramus than I previously thought humanly possible.

Disneyland diplomacy.

Obama: Sing-along with ME, everybody!

it’s a world of laughter, a world or tears
its a world of hopes, its a world of fear
theres so much that we share
that its time we’re aware
its a small world after all

CHORUS:
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small world after all
its a small, small world

There is just one moon and one golden sun
And a smile means friendship to everyone.
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It’s a small small world

(chorus)

Although he could hardly have been surprised by Obama's fecklessness. After all, just a day earlier in addressing the General Assembly, Obama actually said, "No one nation can ... dominate another nation."

Reminds me of Gerald Ford's famous gaffe when debating Jimmy Carter in 1976.

Gerald Ford gaffe

Yeah, the rats continually criticize pubbies for being intellectual lightweights. With Ford, they had a point.

From messiah to pariah, from ‘The One’ to ‘The One-Termer’.

Even that seems way to long.

The French criticize Obama for appeasement, and the Chinese criticize him for being too socialist. If he had any intelligence, he’d recognize the significance of that combination.
