Emmett Tyrrell has written a provocative article concerning Obama’s seeming paralysis concerning the extraordinarily urgent situation in Iran. He opens his article as follows.
WASHINGTON — The anti-government protests in Iran following the government’s rigged elections are doubtless a little more than the “robust debate” among Iranians that President Barack Obama welcomed during the election. Some of the debaters have been shot dead. Others have been hustled off to jail. I wonder if this is an eye-opener for our novice president.
He summarizes.
Increasingly it is apparent that we not only have a very unseasoned president in the White House but also a very weak one. At a surprisingly early point in his presidency, Obama’s program is in disarray. On healthcare he is under fire from the left and the right. His Cap-and-Trade policy is in trouble. This week the Hill reports that “Congressional Democrats are largely ignoring President Obama’s $19.8 billion in budget cuts.” His Democrats on Capitol Hill are intent on cuts that he has not asked for, some of which shave funds for his priorities.
Let the mainstream media purr on about this president’s mastery of government. My sense is that he is out of his depth. His dithering over the Iranian protests is but one bloody example.
