Eugene Robinson of the Washington Post is perhaps the most reliably pro-Obama columnist in the country. To Robinson, all Republicans are hateful racists. To Robinson, every plan put forth by Obama has been brilliant. So today's column from Robinson is highly newsworthy. Robinson is criticizing the White House (albeit with a very light hand) for having no plan how to deal with the ongoing slaughter in Syria. Now Robinson's position is certainly a logical one; he thinks that the president ought to explain the difference between Libya and Syria and announce an Obama Doctrine which would rationalize the use of force in the Middle East. No one could be against the use of rational thought in foreign policy, even though it seems shamefully absent in the Obama State Department.
The important point here is that it is Euggene Robinson who is criticizing Obama. If even Robinson feels free to take a shot at Obama, then there are just no true believers next. I am waiting for news next week that Michelle Obama has written a biting critique of her husband.
