Good series as far as it goes. But it’s not just a matter of a face and a mask. Indeed, a lot of what Sowell takes for the real face beneath the mask — anti-colonialism, critical race theory — may just be a mask concealing Chicago “punish your enemies and enrich your friends” politics as usual.
No President of the United States had ever done that before. It gained Obama nothing with the voters, nor was there any reason to think that he expected it to. Why then did he do it?
What did it accomplish? It brought the United States down a peg, in the eyes of the world, something that he has sought to do in many other ways.
As we are now learning, it was to thank him for paying his way through college.
And the media see it as their job to keep people from knowinng the facts. See also my tag line.
