I think Horowitz is looking at what Obama's actually DONE in foreign policy, while we often focus on what he SAYS he's going to do. I also think he's focusing on foreign policy rather than domestic.

I think Obama knows he's in over his head in the foreign area, and is content to bash Bush while continuing to make noises like he's doing something radically different. I think he will use words to placate the left, but he will admit to himself if to no one else that Bush did a pretty good job of holding it all together.

On the domestic front, I think Horowitz needs to look around. Obama is definitely doing some radical stuff.

I think Horowitz is looking at what Obama's actually DONE in foreign policy, while we often focus on what he SAYS he's going to do.

That was my thought also.  

"Obama has flexed the leftist muscle so nakedly and unmistakably that there isn’t a conservative left who will vote Democratic in the next election (and there were many who did so in the last)."

I agree 100%.  Checking out the other (dark side) is OVER.

I've read several of Horowitz's books, and think they are invaluable.

This is the second time he has defended Obammie the Commie.

And I find this very, very disturbing, as Obama is THE embodiment of everything Horowitz tries to warn us about 1960’s radical communism.

Horowitz is 97% foreign policy, with nice words for the rest of the package only because the contemporary political dichotomy entails an uneasy convergence of multiple ideologies. Whatever is mated, within the contemporary political sphere, to Wilsonianism, he will eagerly trumpet, even if it means going back to his commie-loving, anti-capitalism days.
