The Fact Checker in the Washington post has stated something I thoroughly believe in. Glenn Kessler posted “If Romney becomes president; he will discover that this diplomatic stuff is much harderthan it looks.” This statement was based on Romney’s belief that Obama has failed with military action against Iran and that by next year they will have nuclear weapons.
I’m not saying that Obama has failed or that Romney is right! Being president is no cake walk. All these Republican Candidates state how Obama has failed, he’s wrong, blah blah blah. Same Blah. Just four years later and different party. If being president was easy where would the United States be?
Obama can’t make many decisions without support. Not just the support of the House, Senate, or the American people, but also we have other countries and the U.N. to think of. Obama has done a good job of keeping good relations with our allies. Not every president has good communications skills. Kessler gives a good example of this with presenting the fact that when Obama wanted to talk to China and Russia to take action on a concept; he had to negotiate with European allies.
Reading the article by Kessler, it is evident that he is trying to convey his opinion to Romney supporters and non-Obama fans. Repeatedly he brings up Romney’s dislike of Obama and Obamas choices.
Glenn Kessler has over 30 published articles within just the last few years. Not just with the Washington post but also with The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, and many more. On top of his publications he has also written a book in 2007: The Confidant: Condoleezza Rice and the Creation of the Bush Legacy. If writing wasn’t enough Kessler belongs to many organizations.
Being president is not a job for just anyone. Nice to see a reporter that believes the same.
