Nothing has kept Obama from catastrophe but what is kept him from a general recognition of his malfeasance is his skin color. The media covers for Obama at every misstep because they are invested in the historicity of the first African-American president.
The assertion that, "he proceeds instead from a kind of fixed idea" is absolutely true. This is not news to anyone familiar with these threads. We have been defining Obama as a convicted Marxist since before he was sworn in.
I think what's new here, from a center right media perspective, is the writer is belittling the stupidity, ineptness, and retrograde nature of this man. Turning the Alinsky tactic back on him is something we need to do a lot more, literally bringing forth a constant steam of ridicule. It differs from the Alinsky tactic in this way: knowing that his ineptness and stupidity is actually true.
