AMERICANS SKEPTICAL OF OBAMA DOCTRINE:  In the wake of tonight’s 3d presidential debate, it’s worth noting that a recent study by the Pew Research Center shows Americans are highly critical of the Obama Doctrine (apology; appeasement), particularly in the Middle East and China.

Of particular interest:  52% of respondents say “stable government” in the Middle East is more important than “democratic government” (37%).  Smart.
