Obama's "Midas" touch
2010-01-27
George Weigel, "The Corner" @ National Review

Copenhagen (2), Virginia, New Jersey, Massachusetts.......and now Kentucky:

(1) Tuesday morning: Undefeated Kentucky #1 in NCAA men's hoops.
(2) Later Tuesday: President Obama calls Calipari, shmoozes super-freshman John Wall, and thanks team for Haiti relief fundraising.
(3) Tuesday night: Kentucky loses to unranked South Carolina for first loss.

MEMO to Saints and Colts: Decline all phone calls from White House switchboard.
That's not really fair -- even in Barack Obama's life some statistics must fall.

#1  Excerpts from "Anatomy of a Failed President" by Dr. Geoffrey P. Hunt

Presidents we admire are aspirational peers, even those whose politics don't align exactly with our own: Teddy Roosevelt, FDR, Harry Truman, Ike, and Reagan.

But not this president. It's not so much that he's a phony, knows nothing about economics, and is historically illiterate and woefully small minded for the size of the task--all contributory of course. It's that he's not one of us.. And whatever he is, his profile is fuzzy and devoid of content, like a cardboard cutout made from delaminated corrugated paper. Moreover, he doesn't command our respect and is unable to appeal to our own common sense. His notions of right and wrong are repugnant and how things work just don't add up. They are not existential. His descriptions of the world we live in don't make sense and don't correspond with our experience."
