2.) Obama's Justice Department is terrorist-friendly and it begins with Attorney General Eric Holder. [Michelle Malkin]

3.) Remember Gerald Walpin? Can you say Walpin-Gate? [The Lonely Conservative]

4.) Former Ambassador John Bolton is analysissin' all over President Obama's recently concluded trip to Asia. His verdict? It was a failure:

Barack Obama's first visit to Asia since his inauguration was one of the most disappointing trips by any U.S. president to the region in decades, especially given media-generated expectations that "Obamamania" would make it yet another triumphal progression. It was a journey of startlingly few concrete accomplishments, demonstrable proof that neither personal popularity nor media deference really means much in the hard world of international affairs.

Many media analysts attributed the lack of significant agreements in Beijing to the "rising China, declining America" hypothesis, which suits their ideological proclivities. But any objective analysis would show that it was much more Mr. Obama's submissiveness and much less a new Chinese assertiveness that made the difference. Mr. Obama simply seems unable or unwilling to defend U.S. interests strongly and effectively, either because he feels them unworthy of defense, or because he is untroubled by their diminution.
