Krauthammer: Obama's Disregard Of Snowden Search Is Manifested In "Arrogance"
CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER: So he doesn't speak to the head of Russia and China because he doesn't have to. It's beneath him, you see. The mere sheer radiance of Obama ought to be enough to persuade them to turn over Snowden and that apparently hasn’t worked yet.
I mean, the arrogance that he’s of such Olympian stature and then he pretends that it’s just a 29-year-old hacker, when as you showed earlier in the show, the Secretary of State said that this could cost lives, and the head of the NSA had said it’s extremely damaging. So, I mean, obviously he’s trying to save face, but it’s making it worse.
And then at the end, he says the other reason I didn’t is because I don’t want to make this important enough that springing him becomes an issue on which I have to wheel and deal with the Russians and the Chinese. Well, has Obama ever been accused of wheeling and dealing successfully with anyone? How’s the wheeling and dealing over the RESET gone, over Syria and Iran and other issues? He says he doesn’t want to be over-taxed. He’s got other stuff to do as he tours Africa.
