Okay, gentlemen, google the distinguished The Economist, June 13 2014. written from its Washington office under Democracy in America section titled Cool Calculations, Barack Obama and Iraq, an analysis of US journalism's timidity in challenging Obama, the GOP shooting blanks to take him down, and the brainy eloquence of the president himself, "cerebral" and "eloquent" front and centre. I've commented here frequently on US journalism, GOP ideological schisms and my admiration for Obama despite my anticipation of better results. I'm in good company, eh?

There's your non-US newspaper, Brian.
