Obama’s Kantian fantasy
Considering both domestic and foreign policy, is it actually possible to be worse than Barack Obama? In Cairo in 2009 he championed a different American foreign policy in the Middle East. If by ‘different’ he meant ‘disastrous’ then things seem to be going as planned

Italy's defence: The reason behind Obama's visit
Obama would almost certainly have mentioned Crimea, which is within bombing range of Italy, on his recent trip to Rome. But the primary reason for his visit may have had more to do with a certain fighter plane

Phony Abbas, phony Obama, phony peace process
In a year's time when these fake, phony "peace" talks are but a distant memory, who will the world blame for this continuing conflict -- the "victim" Abbas or the "intransigent" Netanyahu? Must we even ask?

We're all ashamed of Obama the dunce on Ukraine
There was a time when Obama was thought to be some kind of intellectual. Oh, dear. He's the quintessential dunce on foreign affairs. Who wants to put their name next to his now?

Ukraine: In 200 words,drop the fantasy. Here's the deal

Small war in the Crimea; nobody hurt?
Apart from gestures and hand-wringing, the West won't and can't do a damn thing about Crimea and Ukraine. For Putin, it's as much about diverting attention from the disaster at home as anything else

Putin vs Obama: No contest, no kidding
Putin understands power; Obama does not. Obama thinks rhetoric can be a substitute for action; he is also consumed by a misperception of the U.S. role in international affairs. Putin, a former KGB colonel, is running rings around him

The West is led by the weaklings the Left wanted
It is not clear what the Left is complaining about over items such as Ukraine and Syria. In Britain, Europe and the United States they all swooned over Barack Obama. They got the weakling they wanted. So, what's their problem?

Why Hillary must be stopped in 2016

Obama's dismal, Europe-style jobs legacy
The key to prosperity is small government and free markets. To the extent the U.S. becomes more like France and less like Hong Kong, it is doomed to get anemic economic performance

State of the Union: State of a failing presidency
Obama's speech may have been his best chance at reinvigorating a beleaguered administration. But it largely failed to do so, having little new to offer, save for small postures and restated positions

France gets the Islamist threat better than America
France's policy against Islamist advancement abroad presents a stark contrast to the chronic indecisiveness, amateurism, and lack of strategic vision of the Obama Administration
