Podhoretz is far too soft. On Obama...and his tutors.
Maybe it's because some folks tend to treat Barry as a somewhat feeble-minded, barely educated, almost completely inexperienced rube, and that makes them go easy on him.
But just because someone is feeble-minded, barely educated, and almost completely inexperienced provincial doesn't mean that he also cannot be arrogant, reeking with ill-will, eager to impose his views on everyone else, and to do it all with complete confidence that he, of course, must be right because his opponents say he is wrong.
There's a good reason why we don't allow young adolescents behind the wheel. It's vastly more dangerous, as we have already seen, to put their ideological equivalent into the office of the presidency.
The first time in recent history this was done, he was just a little slut puppy using the office to get his rocks off and to enrich himself. This time he's the wounded, "I'm going to make them all pay," grandiose, junior high hall monitor.

Here is my favorite description of Obama:
___________________________________________________
Obama sees things in terms of a Third World socialist. His father was an African Marxist and his mother a leftist slut. Nothing in his background or expereiece - far left community organizer, 20 years with the hate-monger Pastor Wright, friendship with terrorist Bill Ayers, shady real estate deal with Syrian (now jailed) swindler Tony Rezko, associations with Louis Farrakhan and black militants - makes him a real American in terms of values or world view. He spent 150 days in the U.S. Senate, about 120 of them campaigning. He spent a few years in the Illinois state legislature voting present. Never has America been so poorly led - and we got what we voted for!

That is why my own answer to the question, "What Happened to Obama?" is that nothing happened to him. He is still the same anti-American leftist he was before becoming our president, and it is this rather than inexperience or incompetence or weakness or stupidity that accounts for the richly deserved failure both at home and abroad of the policies stemming from that reprehensible cast of mind.
Norman, an anti-American leftist is by definition inexperienced, incompetent, weak (mentally, morally, and intellectually), and stupid.
