Ghost of a flea

I suspect that post-student Obama, hanging with the far-left and academics as he did, has never broadened his perspective because he lived in a very insulated place where no one ever expressed a different view-point and he never heard the words, “no” or “that’s muddled thinking,” because everyone else thought as he did. Our “sophisticated” and “world-traveled” president is, in fact, coming from a very provincial, self-satisfied and narrow place. The depths of his introspection leads Obama to conclude about himself that he doesn’t like his golf game.

It is a very small comfort to know that Obama’s Honeymoon Of Unconditional Love seems to be drawing to a reluctant end. One can’t help wishing the press had not stood in our way for the past two years, as we were trying to get to know the fellow who is now the most powerful man in the world; some might have then predicted that Obama would be backhanding our allies, cozying up to despots, “palling around with terrorists” and supporting wannabee dictators against the rule of law. Then again, it’s likely that any who suspected it, and dared voice their thoughts, would have been called “crazy, uneducated, provincial” and probably “Caribou Barbie.”
