It Must Really Bother Him

Fareed Zakaria, the always liberal commentator, has an op-ed in the Washington Post celebrating three "global success stories".  Zakaria then tells his reader about positive developments in Indonesia's elections, India's elections and Mexico's energy policies.  If you are interested in hearing Zakaria's reasoning, you can go to the WaPo.  There was nothing particularly interesting about it.  What struck me as most important was what Zakaria did not say.  He did not credit any of these developments to any American policy or any position taken by president Obama.  Of course, the reason for that silence is the complete lack of any American involvement with these developments.

I've seen Zakaria in action for years.  It must really bother him that after searching for international "good" news, he can't tie it at all to Obama.

Let me be quick to add that I am in no way disputing that certain areas of the world are seeing success these days.
