Every time I read Andrew Sullivan the words of St. Paul echo in my mind: “Claiming to be wise, they became fools.” The more I read Romans 1, the more I understand people such as Andrew. They are men that exchange the truth for a lie. They are beyond help.

It was the kind of silence that greets the truth.

The truth in this case being that we are stuck with this posing, preening, arrogant ideologue for the next 3 years.

Clinton already had the experience of losing the Arkansas governorship in 1980 and coming back to win it in 1982.

Obama's a lot more inexperienced and brittle. He may not have the ability to learn from his mistakes.

Obama did lose elections, but he never had the administrative responsibilities, so he's more resistant to realities than Clinton was.

Still, the general rule is that presidents do win reelection, so it's still a possibility.

I have to wonder if Sullivan was always so bad a writer and so obtuse an observer -- if he's lost it over the years or if we just notice it now that he's on the other side.

...he’s dreaming if he thinks Barry is going to spend any political capital on gay causes.

While I think the gays think health care will be the Obamite gimmie, I think they had better study history. Hitler played rope-a-dope with the homosexuals, too. Then pink triangles and to the camps with them.

If Bammy gets Socialist Health Care through, the homosexuals will find themselves in the cold in short order.
