I knew Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter was a friend of mine (well I watched him on the telly); and Sir, Barack: you are no Jimmy Carter.

But are you ?

.

A good example of the problems aflicting the new administration (actually better than Ms Paglia's I think): looked from his photo to be an unexciting choice as President Obama's head of the National Intelligence Council.

Far from it: makes that clear. Whether he was the right man or not is way above my pay grade, but the failure to notice that he was a tad controversial and/or the failure to back the guy once the going got tough really does seem to be a sign of incoherence and drift at the heart of the administration. This is, after all, a key post.

Now they are looking for someone else and the clock is ticking and the Iranians spinning and al Qaeda plotting.

And that the administration could have won the argument, if it had only tried.
