I’m not as pessimistic as the perpetually-pessimistic Allahpundit, but I’m not exactly skipping around my house, either.

In refusing to take a stance on the Israeli-Hamas conflict this past week, President-elect Barack Obama has used the excuse that there’s only one President at a time. Engaging in something involving foreign policy would send mixed signals, Obama says. But then why is Vice President-elect Joe Biden traveling to the hotspots of the world [...]
