The Western Schism of the 13th and 14th centuries saw five antipopes contest the legitimate succession to the pontifical throne. The schism was officially put to rest by the Ecumenical Council of Constance in 1417, although three of the five papal charlatans continued unsuccessfully to rebel against the authority of the Council. What we might call the American Schism of our day resembles a bizarre rerun of that sectarian clash, albeit in a secular dimension. For eight years Washington was not Washington, but Avignon on the Potomac, presided over by Anti-President Barack Obama II.

Many observers feel that the controversial ascension of Obama to the White House is no longer newsworthy. The sun has apparently set on Obama’s destructive stewardship of the country. He must be allowed to fade into political irrelevance while the country tackles without distraction the enormous problems that confront it. “There’s a lot of work to do,” writes one commenter to a recently posted article of mine, “Let’s start by consigning Obama to the dustbin of history, and repeat his name no more.”

“Strangely, the party he literally destroyed, still seems willing to point to him and say glowing things about him.”

That really is amazing. Are they on his payroll or are they just unable to admit what fools they have been?

Yes, he spoke of this country in the abstract, exactly what you would expect of a foreign agent who has managed to gain the presidency.

Bol! I’d go in halves with you on the cost. The country would be in our debt.

Maybe they view him as a means to accomplish the task of destroying the nation. These people seem to hate the U.S. with a passion second to no other entity.
