WASHINGTON (NYT) — In the Middle East crisis, as on other issues, there are two Barack Obamas: the transformative historical figure and the pragmatic American president. Three months after a Tunisian fruit vendor set himself aflame and ignited a political firestorm across the Arab world, the president is trumping the trailblazer. . . .
How Mr. Obama manages to do that while also balancing American interests is a question that officials acknowledge will plague this historic president for months to come. Mr. Obama has told people that it would be so much easier to be the president of China. As one official put it, “No one is scrutinizing Hu Jintao’s words in Tahrir Square.”Wait, that would mean Joey Biden - perhaps the only major politician less qualified to be President than you (which was why you chose him, natch) would be President. Please, please Mr. President don't resign, or if you do, shoot Vice President Biden, pardon yourself and then resign.
For the good of the nation. Or the children. Or something.
