"What we are now seeing with Obama’s coterie is a sort of Billy Carterism—after a while what seems at first outlandish gradually becomes repugnant. Half of the country is now furious at Obama because they are starting to see that Ayers, Khalidi, Meeks, Pfleger, and Wright were representational, rather than aberrational; that is, the associates that for 30 years were the natural friends and role models of Obama proved hard to shake and appear buffoonish 24/7. And stranger still, Obama himself seems surprised that they keep reappearing, as if one so easily can throw under the bus decades of choices, attitudes, and second natures."
It's the final act of a satyr play. Obama & friends are playing the roles of Lucy and Ricky Ricardo.And Billy Carter. Fred and Lamont Sanford and Urkel. The revival of Aristophanes and the Satyricon should bring back discussion of classical comedy.
