Two videos distill the meaning of a campaign, and a presidency.

“There’s a broader lesson to be learned here,” Mr. Obama told “60 Minutes” correspondent Steve Kroft at the White House. “And I — you know, Governor Romney seems to have a tendency to shoot first and aim later. And as president, one of the things I’ve learned is you can’t do that. That, you know, it’s important for you to make sure that the statements that you make are backed up by the facts. And that you’ve thought through the ramifications before you make ‘em.”
Obama has always and only cared about Obama. This is just the most deadly result to date.
Oh, from your keys to God's ears. That would be icing.
If you welcome mutts, you shouldn’t whine when the fleas come along for free. Welcome a politician to a funeral, and grin through it as he lifts his leg and urinated on your beloved.
Actually, Fast and Furious has killed (and still kills) lots more people, but I get where you're coming from.
It’s true, though: if you’re going to lose your virginity, you’ll want to do it with a big prick. And on that score, Obama is your man.
Like his kneejerk reaction to the Massachusetts police/Harvard professor dustup?
Maybe he would have already learned that lesson if Barack Obama had had an ounce of experience before taking office.
Mark Steyn is a master wordsmith, and one of the most perceptive foreign observers of the American scene since Alexis de Tocqueville.
Maybe he would have already learned that lesson if Barack Obama had had an ounce of experience before taking office.
Someone like 0bama would have been even more dangerous had he had some experience.
0bama is calculating and a manipulator.
Everything is a means to an end. Friends.co-workers, and even family do not matter as much as his own power.
All 0bama cares about is himself.
I’m surprised no one has analyzed Biden’s near-pathic need to portray himself as a tough guy. He is always shooting his mouth off about how tough a ‘fighter’ he is. He’s a wimp who’s lived inside the padded glove of government jobs his entire life.
If I’d been the father of the soldier slain in Libya and the VP had said that to me, I’d be in jail for decking him. It’s not a football game and a daring play they were discussing. It was the slaughter of soldier who’d been hung out to dry by the administration of the guy making the coarse comment.
Throw a hard hat and sleeveless shirt on him and he’d fit right in with the aging Village People.
Repeat: Devastating
Why was this changed to an excerpt?
The article was posted from NRO, which AFAIK does not have a policy requiring such.
So many good pull quotes I don’t know where to begin.
Thanks for posting.
Not to rain on your hope and dreams....that is as likely to happen as the moon spinning off it's orbit into outer space...

You are my favorite author, when are you going to come out with something new? Don’t use that old excuse about rumors of your death NOT being exaggerated this time, if dead people can vote they can certainly write books.
You are spot on about this,”A great number of people in the U.S.A. Know a lot that is not so.” It is even worse though, a great many Americans know a lot of things that could not even POSSIBLY be so. It is one thing to take fiction seriously but Americans are now taking fantasy seriously. I suspect I have done so on occasions myself but I am trying with all due diligence to never do so again.

I would think so too, except that one poll showed Obama at 53% in CA. That means a 10-15% drop in Dem turnout with conservative districts voting strongly for Romney might inch it out. The polls are not talking about turnout because that is going to be Obama’s Achilles Heel.
