Obama, the feckless tyrantby Dana Milbank at the Washington Post

President Obama is such a weak strongman. Whats more, he is a feeble dictator and a timid tyrant.
That, at any rate, is Republicans critique of him. With Russias invasion of Ukraine, Obamas critics pivoted seamlessly from complaining about his overreach to fretting that he is being too cautious. Call it Operation Oxymoron.
Last Wednesday, I sat in a House hearing and listened to Republicans describe Obama exercising unparalleled use of executive power and operating an uber-presidency. They accused him of acting like a king and a monarch, of making the United States like a dictatorship or a totalitarian government by exercising imperial and magisterial power.
But after events in Ukraine, this very tyrant was said to be so weak that its shocking.
