Obama, Carter, and Chauncey Gardiner
David Rothkopf of Foreign Policy magazine says that Barack Obama's foreign policy is rapidly turning him into the second coming of Jimmy Carter.
Charles Krauthammer is even more brutal, comparing the rhetoric of Obama's wide-eyed admirers in Stockholm and elsewhere to that of Chauncey Gardiner, the blithering innocent in the 1979 film Being There whose banal and inane ramblings are mistaken by the Washington intelligentsia for profundity.
Obama's naive and ineffectual foreign policy views may impress the Nobel Committee, but thus far they has made him the most ineffectual president in the international arena since- well, Jimmy Carter.
