The first and the last of those, some years ago. The Friedrich book made quite an impression on me as an undergraduate but now I know so very much more...

I agree with you with respect to foreign policy. 0bama is an ignorant ideologue with neither knowledge nor respect for history and an inexplicable conviction that he's above it all. A decent choice for Secretary of State might have helped him but he didn't make one either chance he got.

Domestically, though, that's where I started squirming reading those books. He has a passionate, destructive, tribal following that has been very successful at bullying scapegoats, enjoys winning by cheating and intimidation, and is hell-bent on forcing the world into a mold it will never fit.

Well put, we have not seen the end of the damage
Obama has created and is continuing to create.
I have reached the point where I dispair of ever
being able to turn things around. I am afraid it
will be like the soviet union and change will only
come from complete collapse, but at what a cost!

Another good read is “How Democracy was lost”,
by Ellen Switzer.

He has a passionate, destructive, tribal following that has been very successful at bullying scapegoats, enjoys winning by cheating and intimidation, and is hell-bent on forcing the world into a mold it will never fit.

Who Obama or Hitler?
When you look, it’s kind of hard to tell.

Obama’s penchant for operating outside the bounds
of the constitution is only getting started.
If he is not called on it soon, he will continue to the
point, he can’t be called on it.

I am certain he has true believers who would have no
qualms about repressing any opposition, which if they
were only thugs would be bad enough, but to put them
in positions of authority with the power of government
behind them is not just criminal but deadly.
