Edward Lucas from the British Telegraph: "President Barack Obama is beginning to look out of his depth"

Michael Barone: Pres. Obama is stuck in a 1970's lefty mindset, always ready to blame US and its allies (whom he may be turning into former allies) for what's wrong with the world: [A]s his record emerges -- as he reverses himself on missile defense and perhaps on Afghanistan -- his motivating principle seems rooted in an analysis, common in his formative university years, that America has too often...

Maybe we're giving the man too much credit. Edward Lucas, writing in the London Telegraph : Mr. Obama's public image rests increasingly heavily on his extraordinary speechifying abilities. His call in Cairo for a new start in relations with the Muslim world was pitch-perfect. So was his speech in Ghana, decrying Africa's culture of bad government. His appeal to both houses of Congress to support health...
