Obama’s 4 year vacation is almost over.
Wouldn’t a certain percentage of Obama’s core supporters get a vicarious pleasure out of seeing the Obamas “living high” and sticking the US with the bill? So while conservatives may have fits, this vacation may be a part of his re-election strategy for those Obama voters in what is definitely a post-modern world where even the President and his family are, first, celebrities to their admirers?
—One of the best thing about the rise of Neut, I think, is that we have no illusions about the guy, for he has a long track record, and he seems more than willing to speak at length, without a teleprompter, to anyone about what he thinks (at that moment). He is definitely not a packaged political celebrity product offered to a tv-addled public. Would I have liked some other conservative to emerge through the process to this point? Yes. But at least Neut is clearly visible to us, warts and all, and you can see he can’t wait to get into a public argument with Obama. That does count for something.
