I watched the Paris, 1919 documentary again last nite, and I think I didn't get Wilson quite right before.

I said there were massive parallels between WW and Nobama, but the fact is that Wilson was a true liberal can't-we-all-just-get-along liberal whose schemes actually worked only in his imagination -- but he took great pains to work them out in his head. He was about building things that had never existed before (although he was hopelessly clueless about how the world worked in reality).

Nobama has no plan, has not worked anything out, does not try to foresee any consequences of his 'agenda', and goes on with the blind faith that all will run like a well-oiled machine simply by putting everything under control of the Feds.

Oh, and of course all of Nobama's 'agenda' items involve the tearing down of the status quo, generating immense chaos and pain, before his plans even begin to take effect, thereby causing endless crises that they surely cannot let go to waste.

The true parallel between WW and Nobama is their delusion that they both thought that they alone were uniquely qualified to solve all the world's problems.

(And: Keyes is still a dipwad, but for as bad an economist as he was, he was a pretty damned good accountant, coming up with the correct amount of $10 Billion that Germany could realistically afford to pay in reparations, as opposed to the $300 Billion that Lloyd George wanted -- and I give credit to Keynes for sticking with his number and resigning over the issue when they wanted him to go along...;-))
