Michael Goodwin believes President Obama is enabling a nuclear Iran.

Richard Cohen is disgusted with Obama generally, but especially about Iran, and he hits on the reason, which is that Obama continues to act like a candidate for President, rather than the Commander-in-Chief.

President Sarkozy of France is also having trouble hiding his disdain for Obama's weakness.

We are facing the consequences for choosing a man with so little actual experience running anything, a man who is an intellectual and a politician, but not a leader, as our President. Even the worst President of my lifetime, Jimmy Carter, had experience as an executive (governor of Georgia). Obama is the least experienced person to hold the office since Chester A. Arthur. Disagree? Obama served one term in the U.S. Senate and as a State Senator before becoming President. No executive experience at all. His predecessors since Arthur?

The following were all governors...George W. Bush (Texas), Bill Clinton (Arkansas), Ronald Reagan (California), Jimmy Carter (Georgia), FDR (New York), Calvin Coolidge (Massachusetts), Woodrow Wilson (New Jersey), Teddy Roosevelt (New York), William McKinley (Ohio), Grover Cleveland (New York).

The following were Vice-Presidents for long periods...Richard Nixon (1953-61), George H.W. Bush (1981-89). Nixon was also a congressman and Senator, and Bush was a congressman, party leader, ambassador, and head of the CIA (arguably, George H.W. Bush had the most comprehensive and well-rounded experience of anyone ever elected as President).

The following were military leaders...Benjamin Harrison (formed and commanded a regiment in the Civil War), Harry Truman (commanded an artillery battery in World War I), and Dwight D. Eisenhower (Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe in World War II). Others with military experience include McKinley, TR, JFK, Johnson, Nixon, Ford, Carter, Reagan, George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush. Of those, McKinley, TR, Ford and George H.W. Bush were all combat veterans.

The following were experienced Washington politicians when they were elected...William Howard Taft (Secretary of War), Herbert Hoover (Commerce Secretary), Lyndon B. Johnson (congressman, Senator and Vice-President), JFK (congressman and Senator), Gerald Ford (congressman and Vice-President).

Even the now forgotten Warren G. Harding had some executive experience as a newspaper publisher before he became President, however briefly, in 1921. No, you have to go all the way back to Chester A. Arthur, who became President when James A. Garfield was assassinated in 1881 to find a man with less experience, and even he was Quartermaster General of New York during the Civil War, and was the Collector of the Port of New York from 1871 to 1878, so maybe I'm being a little unfair to him due to a reputation as a political hack, as those jobs required executive work concerning budgets, appointments and the like. I'll have to do a little more research, but it may be that Obama has the least amount of executive experience of any man ever to hold the office.

Dick Morris says polling data shows the elderly moving away from Obama's health reform plans.

Europe faces new problems as their population grows older and smaller.
