As President Obamaenters the stretch closing out his second term, he is dedicating himself tosealing his reputation as the worst president in American history. He long agoblew by President Carter. He\’s blowing by President Buchanan. He\’s taken thelead and he\’s putting distance between himself and the rest of the field.
Yesterday he deepenedhis hold on the laughingstock element of his performance in office. How tocombine suffocating arrogance with gut-busting stupidity? See the man doing histhing side by side with President Hollande who was looking for something betterthan this Bartlett\’s-worthy laugh line (video below): “[N]ext week, Iwill be joining President Hollande and world leaders in Paris for the GlobalClimate Conference. What a powerful rebuke to the terrorists it will be, whenthe world stands as one and shows that we will not be deterred from building abetter future for our children.”
In his effort tomount an international campaign against ISIS, President Hollande spent a daywith President Obama and will spend a day with Vladimir Putin. One can\’t helpwondering whether his purpose would have been better served by spending bothdays with Putin.
