Ouch..that’s gonna leave a mark on the backside of the American left.

Excellent article!

The dems big government is unsustainable and its mounting debt are unsustainable. They are shackles upon all Americans that once applied will be very difficult to remove.

The net result of all this is that America is becoming as self-righteous, self-centered, and prissy as its president is himself.

As the London Telegraph styles The One: President Pantywaist.

Prissy? Self centered? Self indulgent? He can't possibly be talking about Obama. No way.

Neo of neoneocon/blog says: Obama’s errors are not random; they fit a certain pattern:

(1) glorification of other cultures and countries at the expense of the US

(2) exaggeration of the negatives about the US and downplaying of our strengths

(3) negative point of view about military endeavors

(4) exaggeration and/or imagining the role cooperation and negotiation plays, particularly with tyrants and enemies

(5) assuming the carrot of negotiation and dialogue is enough to change tyrants and enemies without the stick

In obsequious fashion, we have sought to assure the Russians that we won’t deploy anti-ballistic missile defenses in Poland and the Czech Republic.

"Obsequious, what is that?" "It means you had a well known Mafia leader in your office and you kissed him on the ass" dialogue from the movie "The Big Easy" and it just fits here, life imitating movies

“Prissy.” That’s perfect! Prissy and self-righteous.

How can that be, given Obama’s well-known apologies ...

Because "apologizing" for (what you perceive as) other people's sins and errors is pure grandstanding, "Look how much better I am than anyone else!" and we all know it.

>I>Obama is conflicted over Hiroshima, but not so much over the millions of Chinese, Koreans, Australians, British, and Americans who were slaughtered by the legions of the Co-Prosperity Sphere — and were desperate to find a way to stop Japanese militarism.

The point is this: When Obama takes it upon himself to adjudicate, in quite ahistorical fashion, who is culpable and who not, the resulting verdicts are consistent only in terms of the president’s own Chicago-style race/class/gender politics.

Insightful!

Another excellent VDH offering. And yet .... I wish he would start offering more than simply complaints about Obama, however accurate and timely.

VDH has the intellectual wherewithal, not to mention the audience, to help start rebuilding the intellectual foundations of American civil discourse (not just for conservatism, though that would be fine ...)

What I would really like to see, is VDH and others to start offering serious dissections of, say, the question of American budget deficits and debt, and the difficulties inherent in addressing them. It would be good to see him discuss potential solutions, whether offered by himself or by others.

The real reason why an Obama can even exist as president, not to mention get away with his idiocies, is because Americans no longer have a way to conduct rational discussions.

Rational discussion and debate, based on facts and realistic assessments of consequences, is the only way we're even going to have a chance of getting out of our many messes.... And we haven't got anything close to it now.
