Suttonesque
President Obama's problem now isn't what Wisconsin did, it's how he looks each day—careening around, always in flight, a superfluous figure. No one even looks to him for leadership now. He doesn't go to Wisconsin, where the fight is. He goes to Sarah Jessica Parker's place, where the money is. (Peggy Noonan, WSJ, 6/7/2012)
Of course, the ultimate measure will be how many Democrat incumbents invite Obama to campaign with them and how many have "scheduling conflicts."
No Secrets
The administration has made little secret of its near-total reliance on drone operations to fight the war on terror. The ironies abound. Candidate Obama campaigned on narrowing presidential wartime power, closing Guantanamo Bay, trying terrorists in civilian courts, ending enhanced interrogation, and moving away from a wartime approach to terrorism toward a criminal-justice approach. Mr. Obama has avoided these vexing detention issues simply by depriving terrorists of all of their rights—by killing them. (John Yoo, WSJ, 6/7/2012)
Conservatives support Obama's drone strikes while simply pointing out the abundant ironies. Liberals...well Liberals are generally silent.
