Considering his whispering with Medvedev prior to the election, Obama could well be working with the Russians in that he’ll not oppose the directions they choose.
The only reason that’s more acceptable a notion is because it’s hard to conceive of any competent enough to gain the presidency but absolutely, totally inept at dealing with foreign affairs.
However, it’s possible that Obama is so incompetent that this is a result of his inability.
I don’t think Obama’s incompetence has a single thing to do with Snowden.
However, Obama’s willingness to weaken America might well make him a co-conspirator in the Snowden affair. Anyone who would design a fast & furious campaign designed to intentionally injure the US would also design a Snowden campaign designed to intentionally injure the US.
How about disinterested, inept, and compromised?
