Richard Cohen, a columnist for the Washington Post, suggests in his latest op-ed that the present day President Obama would have lost WWII to Germany.

Writing that Obama seems "petulant" and "out of ideas" in his response to world events, Cohen said Monday that "if the Obama of today and not Winston Churchill had led Britain in World War II, the Old Vic theater would now be doing 'Hamlet' in German."

Obama has been widely criticized by Republicans and others for coming across as "tone deaf" in his reaction to the recent terrorist attack by the Islamic State terrorist group in Paris, in which 130 were killed and many more were injured.

During a press conference in Turkey days after the attack, Obama indicated he would make little if any changes to the administration's anti-terrorism policies abroad.
