Krauthammering Obama

The Obama administration keeps providing new opportunities for Charles Krauthammer to wield his pundit's scalpel and he doesn't disappoint. In today's NRO he vivisects the President's pathetically woeful foreign policy, focusing on his Russia "strategy". Krauthammer concludes with,

Henry Kissinger once said that the main job of Anatoly Dobrynin, the perennial Soviet ambassador to Washington, was to tell the Kremlin leadership that whenever they received a proposal from the United States that appeared disadvantageous to the United States, not to assume it was a trick.
No need for a Dobrynin today. The Russian leadership, hardly believing its luck, needs no interpreter to understand that when the Obama team clownishly rushes in bearing gifts and “reset” buttons, there is nothing ulterior, diabolical, clever, or even serious behind it. It is amateurishness, wrapped in naïveté, inside credulity. In short, the very stuff of Nobels.
