Obama's foreign policy credentials; can we have a do-over?

Ayotte: ‘It’s Time to Reset the Reset’  

 

... "Putin has harbored Edward Snowden, interfered in Syria, and armed the Assad regime, Ayotte said, and it seems the reset policy hasn’t worked."

 

Fewer Americans think Obama is respected in the world today Quoting Politico:

For the first time, a majority of Americans think President Barack Obama is not respected among world leaders, according to a new poll that found opinion has plunged "dramatically" in the past year.

 

.... "The Ukraine crisis showed how relevant Obama is. The EU ended up brokering the deal with precious little help from the administration. Our allies know the qualities of the president and acted accordingly.

 

"Ronald Reagan always thought that it was better for the US to be feared rather than liked. At this point in his presidency, Obama has made the US neither."

Grandmaster Putin plays chess while Obama's stuck on checkers 

... "Welcome to global disorder. You know America’s power is waning when the mullahs mock our empty threats.

"But Obama’s fecklessness offers one advantage — it’s easier to see why he keeps bullying Israel.

"The tiny Jewish state gets singled out because nobody else listens to America anymore. Once the Israelis figure that out, we’ll really be alone."

Heating up: Climate change advocates try to silence Krauthammer

Beware the left; this is what they do.

 

Howard Kurtz   "Charles Krauthammer says it right up front in his Washington Post column: “I’m not a global warming believer. I’m not a global warming denier.”

 

"He does, however, challenge the notion that the science on climate change is settled and says those who insist otherwise are engaged in “a crude attempt to silence critics and delegitimize debate.”

 

"How ironic, then, that some environmental activists launched a petition urging the Post not to publish Krauthammer’s column on Friday.

 

"Their response to opinions they disagree with is to suppress the speech.

 

"Brad Johnson ...the editor of HillHeat.com and a former Think Progress staffer, boasted on Twitter that 110,000 people had urged the newspaper “to stop publishing climate lies” like the Krauthammer piece."

Howard Kurtz is a Fox News analyst and the host of "MediaBuzz" (Sundays 11 a.m. and 5 p.m. ET). He is the author of five books and is based in Washington.

NY Times publishes cartoon about killing global warming 'deniers'

Thomas Lifson    "When apocalyptic cults turn murderous, they become a danger to the public. The warmist cult, frustrated by the failure of nature to back-up their prophecies of doom, apparently is turning to homicidal fantasies, and venting them in the pages of the New York Times. A truly shocking cartoon was published in the pages of that formerly august newspaper, brought to our attention by wattsupwiththat.com and climatedepot.com.  In it, the frustrations of warmists over the unusually cold winter (which US Government climatologists completely failed to predict) are channeled into the suggestion that they use "the 2014 icicle surplus" as "Self destructing sabers for climate change change deniers": "

FCC Throws In the Towel on Explosive Content Study; Intrusive media survey idea had people riled, but it was doomed from the start

 

NRO  "The Federal Communications Commission has pulled the plug on its plan to conduct an intrusive probe of newsrooms as part of a “Critical Information Needs” survey of local media markets.

"However, a revised version of the survey could raise new concerns: that it will trade its now-kiboshed news questions for a demographic survey that might justify new race-based media ownership rulemaking."....
