IT'S NOBODY’S FAULT: Liberals make excuses for Obama.

Barack Obama is in charge .  .  . at a time when the world seems to be cracking up more than usual. .  .  . There are no simple fixes to these nuance-drenched problems. .  .  . None of these matters are easily resolved.

Ri-i-ight. Just add enough 'nuance' and all Obama's problems become someone else's fault.

Funny how all that 'nuance' disappeared during the Reagan, Bush I, and Bush II admininstations....

IS IT TIME to rethink U.S. policy toward hostage negotiations? Yes. Yes, it is. And that policy should be to find them, kill them, pound them into rubble, and then salt the earth where they once stood.

NO. NEXT QUESTION. Is the Obama crew smart enough to defeat ISIS?

FAT CHANCE IN OBAMA'S AMERICA: Renewing the American Idea.

THE MEASURE of the man: found wanting.

Sometimes a round of golf is just a round of golf. And sometimes it reveals the ­essence of a man.

President Obama’s decision to hit the links and yuk it up with pals immediately after speaking about the beheading of James Foley was no ordinary mistake. Nor was it a simple gaffe.The decision continues to cause an uproar because, like an X-ray, there is no escaping the image. It shows there is no there there.

With even his media praetorian guard appalled, the golf outing is sparking a wider understanding that Obama is hollow, empty of the routine qualities Americans expect from their president.

Simple decency and respect for Foley’s horrified parents should have been enough to sober him. If that didn’t do it, the realization that the Islamic State had declared war on America in the most gruesome fashion imaginable should have sounded a call of duty in his head.

Instead, Obama continued with his vacation and was photographed looking as if he didn’t have a care in the world. Suddenly, that megawatt smile that often charmed voters wasn’t so charming. It was vacuous.

He looked like an empty-headed frat boy, numb to the world.
