Reality bites
Wesley Pruden observes the White Hous is a "risky place" for on-the-job training in a world abounding in nasty surprises. Or, I might add, nasty certainties.
There are signs that the Europeans, so eager only a year ago to march to the music of the piper from Hyde Park, are sobering up like the millions of independent voters who have stepped out of the parade in America. The buzz about Barack Obama at international conferences is no longer about how strong and artful he is in the presidential role, but how naive and artless reality has revealed him to be. President Nicolas Sarkozy of France is said to have told confidants that he thinks the American president is "weak."
Update: Not just weak, grossly egotistical.
"And they both say that [France's President Nicolas] Sarkozy thinks that President Obama is incredibly naive and grossly egotistical - so egotistical that no one can dent his naïveté."

Some of us already knew that.
Here's to hoping he can't screw up too much before the 2010 elections.
