“A person who came from literally nowhere to occupy the US presidency, an empty suit.”
My tagline is a link to an old (1939) and very long article about the New Deal and FDR. If you read the article, obama followed almost all of it. obama is no idiot. And Hillary, or any democrat that can rise to that level aren’t idiots either. Evil - but not stupid.
Excerpt from the link:
Worse outwitted were those who kept trying to make sense of the New Deal from the point of view of all that was implicit in the American scheme, charging it therefore with contradiction, fallacy, economic ignorance, and general incompetence to govern....
But it could not be so embarrassed and all that line was wasted, because, in the first place, it never intended to make that kind of sense, and secondly, it took off from nothing that was implicit in the American scheme. It took off from a revolutionary base....
... the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic; and if the handling of one was inconsistent with the handling of another, even to the point of nullity, that was blunder in reverse.
The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention.
The end held constantly in view was power.
Quite apropos. Many thanks for the link.
