The Emperor Vespasian remarked as he was dying: "Dear me! I must be turning into a God!". Barack Obama must be saying: "Dear me! I must be turning into Jimmy Carter".
Some International Reviews from Commentary
Contentions. And their not pretty:
The President is “Obama the Impotent,” according to Steven Hill of the Guardian. TheEconomist calls Obama the “Pacific (and pussyfooting) president.” The Financial Timesrefers to “relations between the U.S. and Europe, which started the year of talks as allies, near breakdown.” The German magazine Der Spiegel accuses the president of being “dishonest with Europe” on the subject of climate change. Another withering piece in Der Spiegel, titled “Obama’s Nice Guy Act Gets Him Nowhere on the World Stage,” lists the instances in which Obama is being rolled. The Jerusalem Post puts it this way: “Everybody is saying no to the American president these days. And it’s not just that they’re saying no, it’s also the way they’re saying no.” “He talks too much,” a Saudi academic who had once been smitten with Barack Obama tells the Middle East scholar Fouad Ajami.
