Charles Krauthammer says it at:
“A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe.”
— President Obama, Feb. 4.
Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared “we have chosen hope over fear.” Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.

After Obama’s miraculous 2008 presidential campaign, it was clear that at some point the magical mystery tour would have to end. The nation would rub its eyes and begin to emerge from its reverie. The hallucinatory Obama would give way to the mere mortal. The great ethical transformations promised would be seen as a fairy tale that all presidents tell — and that this president told better than anyone.
I thought the awakening would take six months. It took two and a half weeks.
Of course, Obama’s so-called hope was all bunk anyway, but what I want to know is when will his supporters recognize that Obama is in way over being president and doesn’t have the experience or (as the past couple months has made clear) the judgment to hold the office of President of the United States.
UPDATE, by Mark Noonan: And incoming CIA chief Panetta essentially says that rendition will remain and what liberals called “torture” will resume, if necessary. In other words, Bush Administration policy will continue. I expect all liberals to immediately call for Obama’s impeachment and trial for war crimes.
