I called the last week the "Obama Apology Tour." Caroline Glick thinks it was more of an Obama Appeasement Tour:

<<< AMERICA'S BETRAYAL of its democratic allies makes each of them more vulnerable to aggression at the hands of their enemies - enemies the Obama administration is now actively attempting to appease. And as the US strengthens their adversaries at their expense, these spurned democracies must consider their options for surviving as free societies in this new, threatening, post-American environment...

If they do so successfully, then the damage to global security induced by Obama's emasculation of his country will be limited. If on the other hand, they fail, then America's eventual return to its senses will likely come too late for its allies - if not for America itself. >>>


As I said the other day, this presidency has the makings of global tragedy. To modify a Bernard Lewis line, Obama's speeches risk giving the impression that America is "harmless as an enemy and treacherous as a friend." That's not a good message to send the world.
