I think it goes way beyond Santa Claus, and I think Krauthammer takes far too benign a view of Obama, at least in the beginning of the article. Towards the end, he does bring up Obama’s class warfare rhetoric, but he’s still not going far enough.

Obama is a stupid, bitter man with a huge entitlement mentality himself; I think this is part of his sociopathic personality. But he is consciously carrying out not an agenda planned by him, but the 1960’s Marxist agenda of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, who I think we would find to be the true intellectual authors of his program. They were two of the Weathermen, a group that used to greet each other by sticking out all four fingers to celebrate the way that Charles Manson stuck a fork in Sharon Tate’s stomach. Like all white radicals, they were wannabe blacks and regarded the Black Panthers as the vanguard of the supposed revolution. Obama himself is a wannabe American black, a possibly foreign born and certainly foreign raised child of an alienated white leftist hippie chick and her foreign, absent African baby daddy, who has spent his entire peivileged life trying to craft his image as a member of this supposedly revolutionary black ghetto underclass.

Everybody else around him is carrying out different parts of the hate America program, mostly by subverting the country in its dealings with foreign powers or terrorist groups. But the domestic agenda, which is based upon sheer irrational hatred and resentment, like any leftist revolution, comes from these two Weathermen. The fact that Obama used Ossawatomie as one of the places to kick off his campaign should have been headline news; the place was not only the scene of a labor action, but the name of the paper published by the Weathermen.

So while I entirely agree that Americans as a whole have become too fond, not only of Santa Claus, but of Holy Mother the State, I think there is much more behind this and much more ruthless manipulation of our system than we are willing to admit.

But that’s a good question: could Ayers et al. get away with this without Obama as a figurehead? He’s some one who probably doesn’t come up with any ideas of his own but whose hatred and frightening personal instability and sociopathic disregard of normal behavior are enough to carry out any program they devise, like any good dictator, and who, as Krauthammer pointed out, has now overcome the final institutional barrier to total power.

I think Obama personally, with his craziness, is essential to the program, and I don’t think it could continue without him. But we missed our chance to get rid of him, and I think this next term (which he may extend, or extend by having his wife run in 2016) is going to be very frightening indeed. It will be the full takeover by the Weathermen, victorious at last.
