Policy Snack: Obama's Popularity in the Middle East

"This week's morsel of thought for the Hudson-NY website: The Middle East Will Come to Hate Obama.

I wish Obama well, and I hope for the best, but I fear that, like his legions of supporters, I too will be disappointed, thoroughly so. Here's to hope trumping reality!

However, I should note that all those I so utterly despise, the bureaucrats at State, the mandarins at Langley, the 'experts' in academia and elsewhere, the activists posing as journos, the veal calf generation of yuppies, well, they just got their dream candidate elected. Beware what you wish for, folks.

Let's see how things work out for them. I know I'll be watching, intently and closely. This may turn out to be fun after all. Pass the popcorn."
