Here is my latest NRO column. It has, to say the least, sharp words for President Obama.

On health care: “The whole Obama era to date has been wasted in a historic, amateurish botch of the health-care issue.” On his general approach, in contrast to that of FDR: “Instead of following the Roosevelt 1933 formula of squarely acknowledging a crisis and pledging an immediate plan of action with inspiriting calls for solidarity and national effort, he magnified the problems in order to try to create an appetite for a more radical turn to higher taxes and social benefits than the country wanted.” And on that Nobel Prize: “The awarding of the Nobel Peace Prize to President Obama unfortunately confirms the world’s love for weak or at least misguidedly diffident American leaders, in the mould of previous Nobel laureates Jimmy Carter and Al Gore.”

But, please, read the whole thing.
