Odama Revives WTF?

Running on empty - but no!

“ Few commentators have expressed less confidence in the ability of the Obama administration to rebound than I have, but the five weeks since the shellacking have been the most successful this president has had. The clear message of the WikiLeaks fiasco is that American diplomats and foreign-policy planners recognize that China is engaged in an insidious and unsubtle process of asserting itself in as disagreeable a manner as possible, without being dangerously belligerent; that Russia is a Mafia state run by a thug; and that the engagement policy with America’s more vocal critics in the Muslim, African, and Latin American theaters has not accomplished anything useful. Obama Revives, National Revue Online

"Who would have thought that sanity and maturity would emerge?"  If I've properly caught Charles Black 's curious drift, the old scoundrel is heaping praise on Obama for, somewhere along the line, figuring all this out.  Russia is a Mafia state run by a thug.  Chinesecommiemotherfuckers are bad. Muslims are duplicitous brigands. "The clear message of the WikiLeaks fiasco is that American diplomats and foreign-policy planners recognize ... ." “ Hillary Clinton recognizes that Saudi Arabia is bankrolling Islamist extremism, and she and the president she serves are aware that North Korea is a puppet state of China. Despite his salutary electoral comeuppance, Mr. Obama appears as a serious and sober head of the American state and government. But Connie ... what did the administration do with this knowledge? Where's Obama's parry ?  What advantageous moves after finally realizing what everyone else on the planet has known all along?  Hoot Mon, is it possible that  Obama's duplication of Clinton's 1996 triangulation tour de force can be as easy as this?  Props  from the National Revue, and a few ef-yous from democrats?   Say it isn't so Joe.
