Very bad news day for the incumbent so far. Two strong supporters and one opposer voice strong disagreement with his administration's major policies.
 
A headline from the usually quite supportive Washington Post reads: “Obama’s foreign policy based on fantasy.”
 
The text states that “The editorial concurs with Republican talking points claiming that the U.S. is exhibiting weakness. “Military strength, trustworthiness as an ally, staying power in difficult corners of the world such as Afghanistan — these still matter, much as we might wish they did not. While the United States has been retrenching, the tide of democracy in the world, which once seemed inexorable, has been receding.”
 
Aside from that sobering thought, FoxNews.com  reports that “[Donald] Rumsfeld said under the Obama administration the U.S. has been perceived as a world power in decline, and wields far less influence than it used to. Consequently, the world as a whole has become less stable.
 
Rumsfeld said the U.S. has to aim to create a coalition of nations that will put the maximum amount of pressure on Putin and Russia.

“So, the thing we have got to persuade other countries of is that we get peace through strength as Eisenhower said,” Rumsfeld said. “If we want peace, we have to be prepared for war and that it is U.S. weakness that has shaken the world.”

And then, while foreign policy mistakes are proving liberal theories to be dramatically incorrect, an ardent incumbent fan and Dem supporter debunked another leftist myth.

Sean Long of cnsnews.com wrote an article titled: “Buffett- Supposed increase in extreme weather 'hasn't been true so far."
 
Long notes that “Any climate alarmist will tell you that climate change is increasing extreme weather events, but liberal billionaire Warren Buffett easily destroyed that argument.”

The reason this information is so important is that Buffett’s so heavily invested in the insurance business. And that means he’s attained great expertise in climate issues, because he has financial risk from damage caused by extreme disturbances occurring all over the nation. Consequently, if he says he’s seen no extremes of concern, I’d be very inclined to believe him.

But if that isn't enough bad news for the left, Buffet added that he thought minimum wage increases harmful to the economy and that the Keystone XL pipeline should be approved.

His short analysis is well worth reading, so here’s a link: Buffett- Supposed increase in extreme weather 'hasn't been true so far' 



That’s it for today folks.

Adios
