US Bugging Europe.

Has any action of any president ever done more damage to America's place in the world?...I'm thinking..."To America," damage to America's place in the world is damage "to America."...I'm reeling, I can't think in historical terms now. This is so bad that that question will have to be addressed by all of us. And what of Obama's standing now in presidential history? Nixon's level? Harding's? Grant? The consensus worst is Buchanan. Buchanan?  Too many historical questions on a day of a shattering public occurrence. I don't see how the Obama administration recovers from this. Every country in the world that was not already contemptuous of him, now is livid with him. He destroyed, destroyed, trust. "Hope." "Change." "Forward." His campaign slogans are meaningful now only as bitter irony. I believe his presidency is gone. He's a political dead man walking--and walking in Africa. That's fitting: Africa is where hope goes to die, where change is an unknown species. Barack Obama, a dysfunctional president, is in the most dysfunctional, incompetent continent on the planet. While America lies wounded, Europe seethes, and Asia mocks.
