No one has any complaint with conservatives complaining that Obama is soft on foreign policy because he's a liberal. Totally fair issue, IMO.

Where it gets nutty, I think, is when the commentators try to extend that to a theory that he's soft on them because he's a Muslim, either card carrying or just at heart. That, to me, is the kind of politics that has the right in such deep trouble right now.

We've got two wars, an economy barely sputtering along, an aging population depending on retirement monies that aren't going to be there, and a host of other real things to deal with and the right-wing commentators spend their time talking about handshakes and bows. People like Obama because, right or wrong, he's serious about getting some things done at a time when they need doing. Even if he makes some poor choices along the way, it finally feels likme there is a proactive leadership.
