QUOTE OF THE DAY – AT 8:22 A.M. ET:  From Victor Davis Hanson, angry over Obama's regular apologies for the U.S., and especially his groveling before the Mexican president last week.  From NRO:

Instead of seeing his nation or its states as the problem, our president would do better to focus on the woes of the European Union, North Korea’s sinking of a South Korean ship, Iran’s plans to get the bomb, continued terrorist attacks in the U.S., wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Mexico’s encouragement of its own citizens to violate American immigration law.

Right now there are quite enough foreign felonies in the world without dwelling on American misdemeanors.

COMMENT:  A fine Hanson column, and worth reading. 

The European Union is fracturing over its economic problems; North Korea has suffered no consequences over its sinking of a South Korean warship; Iran remains unscathed in its nuclear-bomb march; terror attacks against Americans are increasing; and the president sends a minimal, thoroughly inadequate force of 1,100 guardsmen, many in desk jobs, to protect the southern border.

Mr. Obama will grudgingly visit the Gulf coast, having demonstrated an indifference to the oil spill that makes George W. Bush's response to Katrina look like Superman in action.  Mr. Obama will then leave for another vacation.

"One-term president" sounds just right to me.
