That's the headline anyway on this Slate item.
It's a pretty short diary
because I think the headline triggers enough instant angst to see WTF the core problem is with the Obama adminisration.
I'm actually OK on Afganistan because I imagine Obama the strategic thinker wants to have handy military force on the border of Pakistan, which other than russia's nukes seems to me to be a pretty big threat to US interests.
I'm OK with slow but steady on Gitmo and I think he has done very well so far with healthcare. I like Gates at Defense for lots of reasons and I think he has done a reasonable job.
From the second I heard about Geithner at Treasury I thought he would be a bad move, if not an eventual thorn in the side. This guy has got to go, but I can tell that when he does, he is going to jack Obama to the moon.
Why can't Obama articulate that year one for conservatives (1980) was about the zenith of US Power and success ? Its been all downhill from there.....
