So far, President Obama has been…I don’t want to say “following my advice,” but…doing exactly I would do about Libya if I were president. And I am extremely happy about it. He’s changing the paradigm and not paying any price for it. Yet.
But there are a lot of reasons that presidents don’t follow progressive foreign policies. If Libya becomes an embarrassment, the president will take a ton of flak.
That’s because everything is supposed to be our job and our responsibility. God forbid someone should tell Europe to polish their own turds.
