Gateway Pundit:  Polish President Accuses Barack Obama of Betraying Poland.

Imagine what Obama may do with a second term, when he has a freer hand? 

The Worst Week of Obama's Presidency?

In the Washington Times, Charles Hurt observes:

The past seven brutal days will go down as one of the worst weeks in history for a sitting president. It certainly has been, without any doubt, the worst week yet for President Obama. 

Somehow, Mr. Obama managed to embarrass himself abroad, humiliate himself here at home, see his credentials for being elected so severely undermined that it raises startling questions about whether he should have been elected in the first place — let alone be re-elected later this year.

Still, I will hardly be shocked if he manages to top it.

Why is Obama Being More Open Towards the Kremlin Than the American Public?

Yesterday, President Obama was again caught speaking candidly in front of a hot mic:

"At the tail end of his 90 minute meeting with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev Monday, President Obama said that he would have “more flexibility” to deal with controversial issues such as missile defense, but incoming Russian President Vladimir Putin needs to give him 'space.'"

There is a roundup of the President's comments here.

I think that Professor Jacobson raises the most important question, however:

Why does Obama feel the President of Russia is entitled to know more about Obama’s plans than the American public?

And what else does the president have planned for a second term, but isn't telling us yet?

In addition, a concerned reaction from our Polish allies.
