Indeed. But there’s a lot of it about. Many Americans are beginning to pick up the strange vibe that, for Barack Obama, governing America is “an interesting sociological experiment,” too. He would doubtless agree that the United States is “the place on earth that, if I needed one, I would call home.” But he doesn’t, not really: It is hard to imagine Obama wandering along to watch a Memorial Day or Fourth of July parade until the job required him to. That’s not to say he’s un-American or anti-American, but merely that he’s beyond all that. Way beyond. He’s the first president to give off the pronounced whiff that he’s condescending to the job — that it’s really too small for him and he’s just killing time until something more commensurate with his stature comes along.
Read it all. Bring a spoon to capture every last scathing drop.

ReplyDeleteI think Styne's commentaries are covered more by the second amendment than the first.
The problem with intellectual liberals such as The Messiah is that their deeds do not have to have a good outcome: as long as the ideas and the intentions were good, that is all that is important. The results could be disastrous -- but that is minutia.
As always, Steyn explains it perfectly, and painfully.
