Are all Obama conspiracy theories basically explanations for the basic "fact" that Obama hates the US? Elspeth Reeve and Philip Bump say so. Plausible!
I expect I'll be writing about the Summers sage later...meanwhile, Ezra Klein says it should be Yellen.
So does Paul Krugman, who adds some personal musings, for those who enjoy that kind of thing.
James Fearon on Syria, the UN, and post-Cold War interventions.
