0bama should take a serious look at this Gandhi quote...
"Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest." — Mahatma Gandhi

I didn't know that Gandhi was a greedy, narcissistic, traitorous, ignorant mozlim bent on the destruction of America's society, culture, and financial system. Color me shocked, SHOCKED!

The libs and their LSM enablers are getting desperate. They know Obama is sinking, and taking the party with him.
They’re throwing everything they can think of against the wall, in hopes of something -anything - sticking.
And all they’re getting to stick, is the stuff that comes out of the rear end of a bull.

Well, they're both cynical hacks willing to sacrifice the lives of multitudes to push their political ideology.

Why do people use the spelling Ghandi instead of Gandhi.
Any particular reason?
Illiteracy?

"Dh" is a rare combination in English. We know "gh" from "laugh," "rough," "cough," and the famous "ghoti," so it's pretty natural to mistake "dh" for "gh." I did myself when I tried to google the article.
Hendrik Hertzberg is a twit, a prat, an ass, a dork (and not a particularly loveable one), a former speech writer for Jimmy Carter, who went to college with Wallace Shawn, the legendary William Shawn's son. He's done his best to destroy the magazine.
Still, when I saw this posted I thought it referred to an extended comparison, something substantial to pick apart and parse. A passing reference to Obama's tactics as Gandhian, however silly or wrong headed, really isn't a big deal. It's what one expects from the New Yorker nowadays.
