Jennifer Rubin wants Obama to emote more.
Jennifer Rubin wants some:
Deeply regrettable.Thatâ??s actually one way to describe the peculiar mix of indifference and incompetence that characterizes President Obamaâ??s foreign policy. Why didnâ??t we call for Assadâ??s ouster months ago? Why didnâ??t we take charge in Libya, short-circuiting Moammar Gaddafiâ??s reign of terror? Why were we mute during the 2009 Green Revolution? When Russian operatives set off bombs in Georgia? When China arrested more high-profile dissidents? It is a long and ignominious record of indifference and appeasement, mixed with pompous pronouncements of our good intentions.
So we'd replace pompous pronouncements of our good intentions with pompous pronouncements of our outrage. Where would that get us?
