I read his book on Andrew Jackson. Boring. He cut and pasted a bunch of stuff and strung it together with a lot of politically correct garbage. No scholarship. No insight. It seemed to have been written by a committee of interns.
Meachum strikes horror in me. Of all the media intellectuals, he is, by far, the is the most dishonest among them, and the most brown-nose. If the Stalinist model didn’t already exist, Meachum would have invented it. He is a man in search of a tyranny to be consumed in.
Meacham simply found a word he wanted to use in conversation on the TV to try to define himself as the smartest guy in the room. Edmund Burk had more common sense and class in his pinkie than Obama will ever have. Meacham actually downgraded Obama from God to Burk. These people are simply full of themselves.
More claptrap from our supposedly brilliant news commentators.
Oh, Obama is an absolute reactionary. He’s trying to revive and make relevant a Marxist style of government that went out with the fall of the Soviet Union.
No liberal spouts the party line louder than a Southern liberal. Meacham is a Tennessean, born in Chattanooga, graduate of the University of the South at Sewanee, TN.
White Southerners are automatically suspect in liberal circles and they have to work doubly hard to prove their liberal authenticity over and over again.
