When liberals elect a US world leader, what can possibly go wrong? Well, a whole reading list for starters.

Obama's Impotent Middle East Policy  "A self-interview by Barry Rubin and Barry Rubin"
" First, I want to apologize that I have often used intemperate language to describe U.S. policy and the people making it in the last 4.5 years. Perhaps I have put off some of you who would otherwise have been persuaded that something is very wrong. Therefore, I have tried to do another version of this approach. Remember, I'm not responsible for the way the questions are phrased here."  Hat tip to Jeffrey Dunetz

France Shows Its Lack of Class At U.S. Embassy 4th of July Party   "Real Classy! If Mr. Valls wanted to make a statement about the American spying program he should have stayed and told his hosts he didn't feel he could show up based on the revelation, that would have been the honorable thing to do."
Now go away or I will taunt you a second time! 

Who Lost the Middle East?  Both of these developments were reported last evening: Al Arabiya published the article “Saudi king congratulates Egypt’s new interim president”; Time magazine reported that ”Obama expresses ‘concern’ over Morsi ouster, orders review in military aid to Egypt.”

Obama Chides Egypt to Quickly Elect Government, Respect Muslim Brotherhood  "The resulting statement tried to be equally critical of each side, reflecting the administration’s continuing refusal to take a stand while the Egyptian protesters decried the U.S. president for propping up the Muslim Brotherhood regime."

 A small, irrelevant America   "From the perspective of Obama, however, our reduction to smallness and irrelevance represents a great success."

Caroline Glick; Israelis watched in shock and horror as their American friends followed the Pied Piper of the phony Arab Spring over the policy cliff

Where’s America?  ...." America might act to shape the course of events; it could, at this moment where the outcome is up for grabs, perhaps have a decisive effect."
 
Egypt: Little U.S. influence, few good choices    "Unfortunately, it is hard to have much confidence in the Obama team to figure it all out. Obama went way too far in bolstering Morsi and not making aid contingent on improved political and economic conditions. So now we see an emboldened Morsi, an aggrieved populace, an economy near collapse and secular opposition leaders who mistrust the U.S. government. We are, as has been the case for so much of the Obama administration, a bystander."
