Podhoretz, editor of Commentary Magazine and a New York Post columnist, said Obama "has been remarkably ill-adept at policy making, policy selling, adapting to changing circumstances, finding a constancy in his behavior.

"Instead, it's all this solipsism: me, me, me. We've seen over the last six weeks how his position on ISIS has shifted, on Syria, and even now how his thinking about treating Ebola is shifting. He can't find a core because I don't think he has a policy core."
