They are usually quite harsh and hopefully they are a worst case scenario but they are plausible. They are always provocative. Here are his comment on the VDH post which nails the Euroweenies for what they have become:   4. David Thomson:   “There is room for only one to play Obama-and we (Europeans) are already Obama.” Many Europeans are similar to teenagers who in their heart of hearts hope their parents don’t give in to their childish rants. They really want the adults in their lives to behave like adults. The United States has basically been an anchor of stability to the rest of the world. A very dangerous vacuum is created if we also opt to become childishly immature brats. On Pajamas posts I always scroll down to see David Thomson’s comments.

Obama is shaping up to be a disaster as US president, pushing policies the implications of which run directly counter to the main tenets of US political culture and traditions. So, at some point, when Americans wake up to what he is doing, there will be a reaction and it could be quite hostile. Alienating one's friends and allies abroad, portraying weakness on the international stage, and breeding a reaction at home, do not add up to a successful presidency. Something has gone wrong in the Great Republic (and I use those words because I mean just that) to allow Obama to have ever been elected. Hopefully, it is just a passing phase that will end in about 3.5 years. If not, we are all going to be in trouble.
