“Perhaps I should add that people THINK that Obama is emphathizing with them. But personally I don’t believe that he is. He doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself. Only he is very good at fooling people and using people—until the illusion wears thin.”

“all the evidence suggests that Obama exudes empathy.”
I agree with you; that was the other thing I think Spengler got wrong.
spengler described the “empathy” as the con mans,,faux empathy. Splengler was on target but I do not think we will see a breakdown as he described,,Obama is too protected and cossetted for that. It may happen if private but we won’t know of it.
