THIS IS ALMOST HILARIOUS - AT 8:10 P.M. ET:  There are few voices more irresponsible on foreign policy than Juan Cole, a professor of something or other at the University of Michigan, and a member in good standing of the left-wing firmament.  He constantly tormented President Bush, and seemed to regard Islamic terrorists as minor inconveniences helped along by the Israel lobby.

Now King Cole is out with his assessment of the Obama foreign policy.  And what does the brilliant scholar say?  Well, he's angry.  Is he angry at Obama?  Of course not.  He's angry at - get this - the mainstream media for not highlighting the great accomplishments of Dear Leader.  This is what our college students are being taught, at least in some select places:

Why can't the administration of President Barack Obama get the word out about its policy successes? President Obama campaigned on an ambitious platform of withdrawing from Iraq, engaging Iran on its nuclear program and persuading the Pakistani government to take on the Taliban and al-Qaida. Despite the charge by critics from both the right and the left in the wake of his winning the Nobel Peace Prize that he has accomplished little so far, in fact he has already set in motion significant change on several of these fronts -- despite the enormous domestic tasks that have inevitably preoccupied his administration. Yet you'd never hear about these successes from the mainstream media.

COMMENT:  Yeah.  Those right-wing nuts at MSNBC and CNN just won't give the man a break.  And The New York Times?  Forget about it.  They're Cheneyites. 

Sure.  And I'm Cary Grant and Angelina Jolie wrapped into one.

Can you believe Cole?  Here we are, in a day when the French are running to the right of us on Iran, and Cole, his Neville Chamberlain locket around his neck, is extolling the virtues of Obama the Wise.

Maybe home schooling your kids, through graduate school, isn't such a bad idea.
