Hentoff always an Interesting read.
Good he has a clue about Obama.
As with Paglia too, there is a time they have to speak out.
Too bad Nat’s Libertarain views holds him back
from coming in from the dark side.

There is no doubt that it's spot on. I wonder if he saw the knife.

I try to avoid hyperbole, but I think Obama is ... the most dangerous and destructive president we have ever had.” —Nat Hentoff

Hentoff won’t be one of the 50,000 Obama is hosting at the WH during this “holiday” season.

I would love to see Obama’s face after he read this gem:

“So in answer to your question, I am beginning to think that this guy is a phony. Obama seems to have no firm principles that I can discern that he will adhere to. His only principle is his own aggrandizement. This is a very dangerous mindset for a president to have.”

Hentoff hits the target

Yep, and not for the first time. I've been watching him for years, since he's such an anomaly - a man of the Left who genuinely believes in free speech.

>>> "The 0 is not doing the change he expected and not liking the 0..." <<<<

I've started listening to AIR AMERICA in the evenings, and it's simply amazing, the far far left Lefties are very angry with BHO; interestingly too, they sometimes mention that they feel the same way towards the DEM-party Elites as they believe that the Tea Partiers feel towards the D.C. Rino Elites, MY PARAPHRASE, not their precise words.

They are very angry about the troop surge and enormously disappointed about the healthcare legislation.

It's hard to stop tuning in .... they keep gettin more & more grim as each week passes; nowadays many are saying they are sorry they voted for BO, and that they didn't know who BO was.

LOL

Adults are constitutionally illiterate as well.

This, in a nutshell, is why we are fudged as a nation. Moreso than the death of god, immigration, and television.

Even on the cable network MSNBC, some of the strongest proponents of Obama are now beginning to question, if I may use their words, their "deity."

I think he means Bummer's perceived godhood.
