During the last debate, McCain mentioned that Obama’s political campaign began in Bill Ayers’s home. Obama immediately denied it and McCain had no real follow-up. It was not this year’s political campaign that Obama began in Bill Ayers’s home but an earlier campaign for the Illinois state legislature. Barack Obama can match Bill Clinton in slickness at parsing words to evade accusations. Duhhh...
Lenin zig-zagged and so did Hitler. Zig-zags may show no more than that someone is playing the public for fools. Some people who see the fraud in what Obama is saying are amazed that others do not. But Obama knows what con men have long known, that their job is not to convince skeptics but to enable the gullible to continue to believe what they want to believe. He does that very well. Duhhh...

Kristol: We also hear a lot of squeaking from rats deserting the McCain ship about Barack Obama's exemplary temperament. So what? If he'd had his way, Obama would have lost the war in Iraq--with equanimity. He would have been calm, cool, and collected as U.S. interests were sacrificed and U.S. honor besmirched. Neville Chamberlain also had a fine temperament and a good intellect. Point taken.
JJ: very good column by Steyn.
Now what? I think Obama will be content to be King Barack the Benign, Spreader of Wealth and Healer of Planets. His rise is, in many ways, testament to the persistence of the monarchical urge even in a two-century old republic. So the "Now what?" questions will be answered by others, beginning with the liberal supermajority in Congress. And as he has done all his life he will take the path of least resistance. An Obama administration will pitch America toward EU domestic policy and U.N. foreign policy.
We are all French, now.
Steyn's column cuts impressively to the point. I enjoy his more humorous efforts, but probably his very best columns have been the fully sober ones. The Declaration of Dependence, the Absolute aim of the Anti-American Eagle, as it starts its flight out of Planet Pepe and over the World.
Kristol's stuff is hot today too. Keep praying.
