THE WEAKNESS PROJECTOR:

Obama's desperate surge (Simon Jenkins, 12/02/09, The Guardian)

Barack Obama's announcement of an Afghan "surge" is his frantic bid to rescue what promises to be a stumbling re-election campaign that must start in 2011. It oozes with his desperation not to be in Afghanistan. The question is how best to disengage

It's odd to have a president who simply does not need to be taken seriously.
