Obama drives Saudis toward China and Russia

The most diplomatically inept administration in recent history has managed to alienate Saudi Arabia to the point where it's making goo-goo eyes at China and Russia.

The Obama administration's handling of the Hosni Mubarak affair was so ham-handed that the Israelis also were reportedly appalled. And anything that can get the Saudis and the Israelis on the same page ought to give even the most dedicated Obamaphile pause.

While the media continue to give this administration a pass, Obama and Vice-President Joe Biden continue to find new and ever more inventive ways to botch crises and alienate our allies. Whatever you thought of his predecessor's foreign policy, at least Dubyah understood the consequences of what he was doing. This guy seems totally clueless.
