Instapundit Looks For The Bright Side

"CLAIM: Obama Is Losing His Mojo. Gonna be hard to sell today. Check back in a week or two and see if this lasts," – Glenn Reynolds. Keep hope alive, Glenn.

In case you missed it last night, Reynolds had an op-ed yesterday in the Washington Examiner on Obama's foreign policy skills. It's awesome and, for some reason, he doesn't give us a link to it on his page. So allow me:

Meanwhile, on foreign policy — another Carter weak point — Obama also looks worse. Carter blew it with Iran, encouraging the Iranian armed forces to stay in their barracks, while Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's radical Islamists (whom Carter thought of as "reformers") took power, and then approved the ill-conceived hostage rescue mission that ended with ignominious failure in the desert. Obama, by contrast, could only wish for such success.

It's rare when a tool for partisan propaganda is revealed with his underpants around his ankles. Which is why it is worth savoring. The smears – Obama is Carter! no, Alinsky! – rarely melt upon immediate inspection. (By the way, Alinsky's name keeps popping up in the Malkin comments thread.)
