This is a very suspicious article, picking up on liberal talking points, to rehabilitate Obama as a centrist and moderate who will help in the war in Afghanistan. We should not surrender on taxes, the Constitution, or the culture at home in order to rehabilitate this fraud as some kind of kinder, gentler moderate leader who would supposedly advance globalist Wilsonian goals while trashing our economy.

Mark Levin has the right take on this. We must resist statist expansion and tyranny. And call it out when we see it.

There are ALWAYS extremists exaggerating threats and making the Right sound kooky. In this case, Obama is the kook. The shoe fits. The chatter about him is not the problem. The tanking economy, the soaring deficits, and the threats to freedom from Obammunism are the problem. He is NOT a moderate reformer who won't be so bad.

The reasoning in the article is very sloppy. It sounds like liberal propaganda: "Republicans need to help Obama because he is a moderate whose ideas on Afghanistan aren't too bad." His ideas on the Constitution, the economy, taxation, abortion, and stem cell research funding ARE bad. Very bad. The worst we have EVER seen in our lifetime. Obammunism is a menace. Fouad Ajami was right when he compared the crowd adulation and swooning at Obama rallies to mob hysteria in Third World politics.

See, what is going to happen is the economy is going to right itself as it always does, and meanwhile Obama is going to leave the army operating in Afghanistan, and being the army it is going to do a good job and kick ass. And you will be out of the street corner in a washboard screaming that the sky is falling for two straight years, and then there will be a congressional election with the sky in the same place is always is. And you will look like a fool, and lose.

The author can see that far ahead, as can I. You can't, and repeat whatever the headlines scream about ephermal stuff that will be gone and over in a year's time. When you could be making an intelligent and principled case against Obama's expansion of government or inaction on Iran or whatever, instead you are betting the party and movement on a rhetorical overreach long-shot that doesn't have a chance in hell of materializing.

He's right, you're wrong, snap out of it.
