Quote of the Day

Edward Lucas, writing for the London Telegraph about President Obama:

Regimes in Moscow, Pyongyang and Tehran simply pocket his concessions and carry on as before. The picture emerging from the White House is a disturbing one, of timidity, clumsiness and short-term calculation. Some say he is the weakest president since Jimmy Carter.

Here at COTTonLINE we've been making the comparison with Carter for some months now. Meanwhile, grotesque examples of Obama's replay of the Carter foreign policy continue to pile up.
