Tecumseh said...: "He's off to a very fast and very good start," says Nicholas Burns, a Harvard professor and former ambassador and undersecretary of state in the Clinton and George W. Bush administrations. "And he's begun to change the way that the rest of the world thinks about us."

Uh, oh.

With a prostrate economy demanding most of the administration's energy and resources even as the country faces a formidable list of unignorable overseas challenges, lofty plans may have to give way to realistic compromises.

Uhh, ohh..

Comments from Obama and his aides also suggest that he's open to offering the Russian government concessions on the issues that most rankle it - perhaps slowing down the deployment of an American anti-ballistic missile shield in Eastern Europe and the process of expanding NATO membership among Russia's neighbors - if the Russians agree to apply more pressure on Iran over its nuclear ambitions.

Uhhh, ohhh...

OK, I give up on reading any further. Bottom line: we're all French now. Pepe rulz!; 2/08/2009 6:38 PM
Tecumseh said...: And the NYT congratulates Harvard (trip down memory lane): Until the 1970's the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. Among these were Elliot L. Richardson, the former Attorney General, and Irwin Griswold, a dean of the Harvard Law School and Solicitor General under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon. That system came under attack in the 1970's and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review.; 2/08/2009 7:06 PM

That is the one topic you are truly knowledgeable about and will defer to your judgment on the matter.; 2/08/2009 8:29 PM

Mr roT said...: Pepe, you have to admit that some teensy part of the rest of the world seems not to have gotten all these memos.; 2/08/2009 8:32 PM
Tecumseh said...: Pepe floats above the hoi-polloi, in that Versaillist pinko paradise, from which all this sturm und drang seems like the sound of rain dropping on the roof. Les lendemains qui chantent are at hand, so why worry about who got the message and who didn't?; 2/08/2009 10:03 PM
