[Question Liberal Authority]

Under pressure in a Democratic primary, Mr Obama has sounded just like any other tax-raising, government-loving Democratic politician.

Now why on Earth would Obama ever come across as a tax-raising, government-loving, elitist, out of touch limousine liberal?

Oh, yeah. Because it's true.

The question is, why did the media think they could hide this forever.

Eight years of George Bush, an unpopular war and a recession have handed the Democrats their best chance, not merely of winning their first presidential election in 12 years, but of achieving a rare, once-in-a- generation transformational shift in American politics.

No. For one thing, most people with at least a high two-digit IQ now strongly suspect that this purported 'once-in-a- generation transformational shift in American politics' is nothing but code for massively further abusing the Federal aegis to pick their pockets and behave with astoundingly less overall competence than has been seen since 2001.
