Tonight’s speech is Obama’s last chance to take a first step toward accommodation with a country increasingly concerned about his unmasked determination to “transform” what the Founders considered “fundamentals.”

Will still doesn't get it. The idea that Obama is going to offer any "accommodation" is pure fantasy and naivete. Obama is a hard core Marxist who uses Alinsky's Rules for Radicals as his operating manual. Idiots like Will still do not understand what drives and motivates our Community Organizer-in-Chief who hates this country.

Will, you ignorant jerk. Don't you recognize Evil and the existential threat Obama represents to this country. This isn't about a difference in politicial philosophy and lumping in Obama with Wilson, FDR, and LBJ. Obama is unlike anyone we have ever had occupy the WH. This is about tyranny versus freedom.

Obama's executive orders are manifestations of the kind of control he is already exerting over this nation. He is circumventing Congress and no one has the guts to challenge him. The prime example is the backdoor amnesty that legalizes the state of 1.8 million illegal aliens and gives them work permits. We have the unprecedented case of border patrol agents challenging Obama in court because they refuse to violate the law. Will is AWOL on this naked power grab. HE DOESN'T GET IT.

I agree with you that Will seems determined to view 0bama as a product of the “progressive” strain in American politics, rather than motivated primarily by something outside it and even more sinister. 0bama adopts the mantle of an American “progressive” when it suits his purpose, but he's really far closer to a Herbert Marcuse type of figure than he is to Wilson.

This quote from Marcuse sure sounds like the ultimate goal of the 0bama agenda to me:

“Liberating tolerance, then, would mean intolerance against movements from the Right and toleration of movements from the Left.”[4]

“Surely, no government can be expected to foster its own subversion, but in a democracy such a right is vested in the people (i.e. in the majority of the people). This means that the ways should not be blocked on which a subversive majority could develop, and if they are blocked by organized repression and indoctrination, their reopening may require apparently undemocratic means. They would include the withdrawal of toleration of speech and assembly from groups and movements which promote aggressive policies, armament, chauvinism, discrimination on the grounds of race and religion, or which oppose the extension of public services, social security, medical care, etc”

But the mere fact that Will is now calling 0bama a “radical” is something. That is was allowed in the pages of the Washington Compost is even more astonishing.
