Krauthammer: Obama, Russia, and the Wages of Weakness. Dana Milbank disagrees.

"The American president’s feckless foreign policy is a boon for Vladimir Putin’s ambitions."
Charles Krauthammer ...“ 'That is not 21st-century, G-8, major-nation behavior,” says Kerry. Makes invasion sound like a breach of etiquette — like using the wrong fork at a Beacon Hill dinner party."
....
"How to figure out Obama’s foreign policy? In his first U.N. speech, he says: “No one nation can or should try to dominate another nation.” On what planet? Followed by the assertion that “alignments of nations rooted in the cleavages of a long-gone Cold War” — like NATO? – “make no sense in an interconnected world.”
 
"Putin’s more cynical advisers might have thought such adolescent universalism to be a ruse. But Obama coupled these amazing words with even more amazing actions." Read the rest here.
 
 Dana Milbank from the same WaPo wonders how such a decisive president can be referred to as Obama, the feckless tyrant.    "Six weeks ago, Rep. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), a Senate candidate, posted a photo of Obama on Facebook with the messages “Stop the imperial president” and “Stop the Obama power grab.” Now Cotton has issued a statement accusing the president of “trembling inaction.”

"Grabbing power with trembling inaction? Only the most diffident of despots could pull that off."

Mr. Milbank, as has been posted previously in this blog, only the American people and our allies have cause to fear this president. Take a map of the world and place a red dot on each country that is the home of  people who desire to kill as many Americans as possible.
Then place a green dot on each nation that Obama has apologized to for any reason.
How many are the same country?
Conservatives and businesses in the US are  the only ones to have seen this presidents decisiveness close up. TD
