Krauthammer: Obama’s Presidency Will Be ‘Remembered as a Historical Parenthesis’

RUSH EXCERPT:
KRAUTHAMMER: "No, I don’t think he has admitted that to himself at all. I mean, you look at the victory tour he has been at for the last, I don’t know, two weeks or so, celebrating all of the great things his presidency has accomplished. His presidency is going to be remembered as a historical parenthesis. He is not willing to admit that, I kind of understand, he spent eight years of his life as want to admit that your achievements are written on sand, but you look at ObamaCare, that is written on sand. He never got the buy-in from the opposition or from the country. He never got cap and trade. He had to go through executive orders. They are all going to be canceled, the are going to be canceled. He tried to ram through immigration reform, did not succeed. This was a failed presidency. I think the reason is he overreached. He also sort of overestimated himself. His supreme self-confidence that you see even to this day and that a “60 minutes” interview the other night, is what I think was the downfall. He thought, I know more about this than anybody else, I am smarter, I understand the Middle East, and if I just say the words, “Red line” and I go back on it, people are still going to respect me. And this belief that he has and what he calls the international community, which is a fiction, international norms, a fiction, he adhered to that. I mean, the model is, what is it, the moral arc of the universe tends towards justice. Something he got from Martin Luther King. The problem is that doesn’t apply to the so-called community of nations."
