U.S. Leadership

Poor President Obama.  Tough couple of weeks!

First, he was sent a stunning message on Nov. 2.  Yes, the election was about Obama, but certainly not resulting (as he weakly tried to infer) from his inability to convince us or to correct our stupidity. Then totally rebuffed this week by the G-20, who increasingly realize by their own recoveries that "U.S. leadership" is an oxymoron.

Think we'll see some humility, at least humility beyond his sometime use of the formulaic "I am humbled by..."?  Hard to imagine that kind of change.
