The Wall Street Journal’s Bret Stephens is in a hand-waving tizzy over the fact that Barack Obama has been president for three whole weeks and world peace hasn’t broken out, lions have not laid down with lambs, and a chorus of angels has not filled the air with joyous strains.
Barack Obama has now been president for 21 days, following an inauguration that was supposed to have pressed the reset button on America’s relations with the wider world and ushered in a new period of global cooperation against common threats. Here’s what pressing reset has accomplished so far:
This douchebag rails on for hundreds of words that President Obama needs to strike fear in the hearts of the wicked, otherwise we are all gonna diiiieeeee!!!!!!!!
I know! What was the point of electing him if things weren’t going to get better yesterday? That’ll teach us to try a different tack, won’t it?
Iran hasn’t closed down Nattanz, North Korea is still posturing, Pakistan hasn’t wiped out all Islamist militants in the tribal areas on the border with Afghanistan, Russia hasn’t unilaterally disarmed and worst of all, he failed to bring a time machine and prevent the war in Gaza.
Clearly, the Obama administration is an epic fail and we are stuck with this loser for another four years! O noes!
What hath democracy wrought???

I dunno I could get much louder, to tell you the truth. I sued Scooter Libby, do I need to schlepp off to Texas and arrest aWol my damned self, and extraordinarily render him to The Hague?
Stephens sounds like the mirror image of some progressives who see an Obama epic fail from the flip side.
The Republicans have been shoveling us into the trickle-down latrine since the days of Raygun. Our problem is how to fill in the latrine while the Republicans are still in it talking about how great it is.
Now that, to me, is a shovel-ready project.
