No sense of Sophoclean tragedy herethat Obama has several hamartia, that due to hubris keep growing and growing, until at the opportune moment they bring on nemesis and with it atê. One doesn't usually see so much Greek thrown into a sentence nowadays. VDH rocks!

I sense the spirit of WFB in VDH. This article nails it in so many ways. My favorite part is where he discusses that whenever Obama slips, it is blamed on the racist, conspiritorial, gun toting right wingers who “steal” elections whenever they win. Idiots like Keith Olbermann display this attitude nightly.

Now, what is a "hamartia" and what is an "atê?

One doesn't usually see so much Greek thrown into a sentence nowadays. VDH rocks! No kidding! thank goodness for Firefox's dictionary.com plugin where I can highlight the word, right click on it and a little window pop up with the definition.
That was yet another great VDH article.
