We have noted the failure of Jimmy Carter, but Mr. Black sees much more significant negative consequences coming from the Obama administration.
But a silly electorate will choose inferior leaders and one has only to look at the parade of mediocrity among Democrat supporters such as those interviewed by man-in-the-street reporters about the recent elections.
From Hollywood, we have counsel from the likes of Russell Brand,( who was applauded by his peers) as well as a horde of other celebrities, David Letterman being one such. Political figures in the Democrat support base include-but are not limited to - Al Sharpton, Nancy Pelosi, any "#occupier" and, well, you can name many others.
All this to speak of the fact that a nation gets the government it deserves. The Tunnel Dweller
Conrad Black; "Not since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, and prior to that the fall of France in 1940, has there been so swift an erosion of the world influence of a Great Power as we are witnessing with the United States."
....
The problem as Mr. Black sees it:
What we are witnessing now in the United States, by contrast, is just the backwash of inept policy-making in Washington, and nothing that could not eventually be put right. But for this administration to redeem its credibility now would require a change of direction and method so radical it would be the national equivalent of the comeback of Lazarus: a miraculous revolution in the condition of an individual (President Obama), and a comparable metamorphosis (or a comprehensive replacement) of the astonishingly implausible claque around him.
....
And part of the solution, according to Black:
"What American will need in 2016 is a new president who enunciates a clear policy: foreign intervention only to prevent genocide, to avenge extreme provocations, or to preserve world peace, and in accord with constitutional and international law."

"One of the luxuries of being a new administration appointee is being able to duck blame, politely or otherwise, for the mistakes of your predecessor. On Syria, new UN Ambassador Samantha Power does not have that luxury. Yet she continues to act as if she bears none of the responsibility for the acute crisis now facing the Obama administration and the world in Syria."
