Walter Russell Mead: Obama like Charles II

Hell, I think he's no better than Prince Charles....and Chuckles the Prince is nothing but a lucky sperm who still reports to his Mummy.  WRM reviews just how bad our President looks when compared to the PM of a country with 2 percent of our population.  This is why we don't hire inexperienced law lecturers to be be President, gang.  Embarrassing.

The Prime Minister mopped the floor with our guy.  Obama made his ’67 speech; Bibi ripped him to shreds.  Obama goes to AIPAC, nervous, off-balance, backing and filling.  Then Bibi drops the C-Bomb, demonstrating to the whole world that the Prime Minister of Israel has substantially more support in both the House and the Senate than the President of the United States.

Incidentally, one might argue that well yes, BHO is incompetent but that doesn't invalidate his position on the substance.  But I would argue that his insipid, sophomoric politics - the ones that he marinated in for 25 years at Colombia, Harvard and Hyde Park -are as much at fault as his inexperience, or even incompetence.  Abe Lincoln had no experience and made a lot of serious mistakes.  But on the key issues of the day he knew the right side from the stupid one.

BHO seems to always - always pick wrong.
