Obama confuses his enemies
is the kind of domestic flak that President Obama will take for his charm offensive on Iran. And it would be difficult - would it not? - to argue that Charles Krauthammer is wrong in the essentials of his case.
The point is that Mr Obama understands that case himself - the case that says: "Come off it, America IS better, and has a decent case to put before the court of world opinion."
But he also understands that there may be advantages to not making it, indeed to making the opposite case (to the extent that he did in that al Arabiya interview).
In fact, I wonder whether he really disagrees with the Krauthammer position.
George W Bush said what he thought. The new man is capable of sophistry in the matter of confusing his enemies...
