| Slate Writer: Wikileaks shows that Obama's foreign policy is smart and effective |
| 2010-11-30 |
| Fred Kaplan, currently a Slate writer who did undergrad work at Oberlin and is married to an NPR reporter and formerly worked for the Boston Globe and wrote a book criticizing the Bush foreign policy, cherry picks some cables and cherry picks a few sentences from Obama speeches and concludes that the Obama admin is doing a really great job at foreign policy. If sucking up were an olympic event, this would get a gold medal. |
