I'm sure the SUPERDUPERHYPERMEGAGIGABLOGGERS have been all over this enough times as to make their content even more tiring, but it is now plain His Omnipotence did not run to be a foreign-policy president; he ran to change the world through domestic hyperaction. But then foreign policy was always a downer in the polls, except as he could rally his true believers with the promise of total withdrawal from Iraq which even he didn't believe in. Only now do we see an uninterest in the world that crosses into deadly torpor. In that we have the exact opposite of Dubya, who hoped his overattention to the world would make up for his inattention at home -- and who in time made up for it by piling on more government in his own way. In short, we have a president just as bad as Dubya, but differently.
