Bloggers agree: Obama foreign policy not very good. Both parties deserves blame for public’s low opinion of Congress
This week’s National Journal poll of political bloggers asked for a grade for President Obama’s foreign policy. The average grade from the Left was a C. From the Right, it was a D-. I gave him the highest grade of any voter, which was a B, and explained: “Finally did the right thing on the Afghanistan surge. His most important speech to the world — in Oslo — was magnificent. Badly mishandled Honduras at the start by opposing the lawful removal of Zelaya, but no long-term harm was done.” Next year’s grade might be much lower, in that the shared Clinton-Bush-Obama policy of all talk and no action about Iran’s nuclear weapons development may get to the terminal point of Iran acquiring nuclear weapons. Question 2 asked the Left “How much is the Democratic Party to blame for Congress’ low standing in the polls?” The Right was asked the same question about Republicans. Eighty-six percent of the Left said that Democrats were a “a great deal” or “somewhat” to blame
