Peggy Noonan today:Embarrassed? Ms. Noonan is obviously incapable of further embarrassment, but she's the one who should be "embarrassed" here.
Excuse me, but it is embarrassing -- really, embarrassing to our country -- that the president of the United States has again put off a state visit to Australia and Indonesia because he's having trouble passing a piece of domestic legislation he's been promising for a year will be passed next week. What an air of chaos this signals to the world.
