 VDH!

Victor David Hanson....Spanks one out of the park in analyzing where we are under the leadership of President, Less Than Zero.




We have sowed and now we shall reap, and so soon we shall endure our first postnational, postracial, Nobel Laureate president treated quite shabbily by those whom he was supposed to mesmerize. In places like Teheran or Damascus, Obama’s racial heritage, his Harvard Review billet, his membership in the Trinity Church, his brotherhood with Wright and Ayers, all that and more mean less than zero. To such thugs, Obama is the face of America, and he is to be tested rather than worshipped. Hugo Chavez is not a Harvard dean;  Putin is not a senior Newsweek editor. Their legs do not tingle when they hear the President, except perhaps in giddy anticipation of what they might wrestle from him. They are not impressed with identity politics; they care little for degrees or titles; they have no elite white guilt. Again, Obama is just an American President who must be analyzed, tested, and if need be dared and humiliated.


Read the whole thing.  It will be time well spent.
