If Music Be the Food of Love, Maestro Obama, Play On

....I have emerged, in the assessment of many, as the leading chronicler of the many ills that afflict conservatism. For more than a year I have warned that absent a rapprochement with the telegenic and wildly popular President, the conservative movement risked abandonment by its few remaining serious intellectuals and being overrun by the unsightly hordes of Wal-Mart untermenschen typified by the loathesome "Tea Party" rabble. As is now obvious, events have proven me right. Yet I take no delight in this vindication; no more than Cassandra in her presaging the fall of Troy.

Those who have followed my missives in this space are also aware of my growing concerns about the President himself. While he enjoys the continuing allegiance of our nation's smart set, it now appears that the unhinged insolent mobs of the town halls have successfully conspired to inflict some damage on the once-unassailable fortress of his approval ratings. This unforeseeable turn of events has culminated in the recent coup in Massachusetts, where the House of Kennedy was unceremoniously deposed from its ancestral Senate estate by some ill-bred populist pickup trucker. The better journalistic organs published soothing reassurances that this latest insult to American birthright was a fluke, having more to do with Mr. Brown's erotic appeal to the Bay State's famously nymphomaniacal womenfolk than any significant disagreement with the President's legislative agenda. Still, I am afraid that Mr. Obama must accept some of the blame. The corollary to le droit de seigneur is the obligation of the ruler to maintain a modicum of rapport with his subjects, and in this respect the President has been found curiously wanting. But therein lies a conundrum; how does a man of such prodigious oratorical and intellectual gifts lower himself to the base enthusiasms and simian grunts of the commons?

“Thank you Mr. President,” I concluded. “You are truly that big pianist we’ve all been waiting for.”

This guy is great!
