"As they chewed over the finer points of Edmund Burke, it didn't take long for the two men to click"

"He compared him to Burke in his subtle complexity"

This is a joke, right? Brookes compared Obama to Sir Edumund Burke? What next, Obama is the next Adam Smith? This just shows how stupid Brookes is. How can you compare a statist to someone who advocated for free markets and less government? Heed this warning from Burke:

"The true danger is when liberty is nibbled away, for expedience, and by parts."

Obama declared the economy to have a new invisible hand, a ‘government directed’ hand after the inaugration. Seems Brooks missed it... I didn’t.
The USA will never submit to central planning.

I agree completely. Only a complete moron could write this:

He compared him to Burke in his subtle complexity.

So that's what being part of the "educated class" means, you can't tell the difference between a communist and a Rockingham Whig!
