"In 2008 Barack Obama ran for president as a transcendent figure come to redeem the time. He would bring the nation together. He would slow the oceans’ rise. He would heal the planet. He would balance the budget. He would spur economic growth. He would improve relations with countries around the world. He would talk tough and carry a big stick.
He was cool. He was young. He made the women faint, like Sam Cooke. He was black. He was white. He was the author, sort of, of not one but two memoirs. He had a nice family, even if his wife seemed to have a helluva chip on her shoulder.
We saw through him, of course. He was a man of the left schooled in the Alinskyite arts. He was the Democrats’ leftwardmost viable candidate. He was Jeremiah Wright’s faithful congregant. He was a socialist at heart. He was a carrier of the academic left’s hostility to the American idea. He was an artist, alright, but of the BS variety. When he talked about specifics, he really didn’t know what he was talking about." [Power Line]
