Founding Father-worship watch

Janet Daley, writing in the Telegraph, accuses Obama of abandoning the Founding Fathers'... unequivocal support of foreign adventurism in the name of spreading democracy? Or something? It's such a Neocon whitewash of American history that it's hard to know what to say.

[W]hat does [Obama's hesitation about Libya] say about the role that America is choosing to adopt on the global stage? That in future we can expect it to follow rather than lead? That it has abdicated its role as defender and standard bearer for the principle of freedom – the idea that all men are born with inalienable rights to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”, which the great founding documents of the United States declare to be universal and not simply the birthright of residents of one nation?

The point is further driven home by the headline, "If the Founding Fathers could see Obama now". Never mind the tradition of American isolationism (inspired by George Washington, no less!) which Daley dismisses with a flip comment about "pragmatic isolationism with which America has experimented before (only to repent later)". "Later", of course, being 200 years later.
