The 4th of those tweets is not unpatriotic on its face, as it may be explained by simple naivete. But bad as the others are, they don’t surprise me. Our efforts against Daesh (ISIS) have not gone well and, when things go as badly in a federal effort as they have against Daesh, the president is likely to be blamed.

Added onto that is Vladimir Putin’s carefully cultivated image a strong man who is willing to be make hard decisions, and that image gives him some support from those inclined to see Barack Obama as weak on foreign policy matters.

And what do I think? I don’t have time to say, since I have to leave to go to work in 15 minutes.
