OBAMA TWISTS FAILURE INTO SUCCESS

President Obama’s deep-seated narcissism and overweening self-regard is old news to objective observers of his administration. The most recent example of this comes in the Atlantic’s wordy apologia for Obama’s disastrous foreign policy, which focuses on the President’s feckless decision to retreat from his “red line” for direct American intervention in the Syrian civil war. That Obama, to the shock of allies and even his own inner circle backed down, is well known. The Atlantic’s revelation that he is “Very proud of that moment” and indeed considers it courageous act, demonstrates just how warped is Obama’s psyche.
