but we welcome former <em><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">New

Barack Obama’s leadership has been disastrous for this country. Last October
Gelb <a href="http://canadafreepress.us2.list-manage.com/track/click?u=0c6082e7eaf9e485b69bc177e&id=8d6079348e&e=141ea976ce"><span style="color: #336699;">wrote</span></a>, “While Obama inherited rather than
caused many of the world’s current crises, his habitual complacency and

a reboot of his domestic policies ahead of next week’s State of the Union
Address, the threat from Islamist militants is again crowding out his messages.
Starting eight days ago with the deadly attack in Paris, the president has
struggled to gain traction for his calls for more spending, higher taxes and
new regulations. The Obama media strategy, on which its authors have been
congratulating themselves at length in the political press, is to roll out the
speech day after day to targeted geographic and demographic groups. This is not
unlike what we saw last year when Islamists in Iraq and Syria destroyed the
Democratic Midterm communications strategy and focused national attention on
concerns over the president’s foreign policy. The president’s campaign to avoid
lame duck status looks similarly imperiled.<br />
