Joe Klein, Mega-Swooner

Contentions' Peter Wehner quotes a typically hard-hitting Q&A session between TIME scribbler Joe Klein and the object of his adoration:

Klein: Let me ask you one foreign policy question. My sense is that — just my own personal sense, but also from people I talk to — the overall conception of your foreign policy has been absolutely right. Necessary, corrective. Subtle, comprehensive.

Obama: We have a good team.

Klein: But there have been some problems in execution.

Obama: Well, I would not deny that, but let me say that given what’s on our plate — and you know the list. I don’t need to tick them off.

"Some problems in execution"? Oh, I dunno. I thought he pulled off all that bowing, groveling, appeasing and apologizing rather adroitly.
