Last summer started months of what former Vice President Cheney called the Obama administration's dithering over troop levels in Afghanistan. The long delay before President Obama decided to send the additional troops requested by his hand-picked general frustrated many and sent the wrong message to our enemies. He showed a level of decisiveness compatible with that of, to paraphrase former Governor Sarah Palin, a law professor at the lectern not a commander-in-chief.

In 2003 a political phenomenon emerged known as Bush Derangement Syndrome or BDS. The term was coined by conservative columnist and psychiatrist Charles Krauthammer who defined it as “the acute onset of paranoia in otherwise normal people in reaction to the policies, the presidency - nay - the very existence of George W.

Yesterday President Obama delivered a speech that was supposed to sell his ideas on national security to the nation. He spoke at the National Archives where the Declaration of Independence and the United States Constitution were merely props for his latest performance and his famous oratory skills were well suited to echo throughout the majestic hall. But the speech itself was not worthy of the stage - non-specific promises, incessant blaming of the previous administration and narcissistic tangents about his own life. In short, it was the kind of speech we have come to expect from this president.
