Conservatives have for years attempted to
put our finger upon precisely why Barack Obama strikes us as queer in
precisely the way he does. There is an alienness about him, which in the
fever swamps is expressed in all that ridiculous Kenyan-Muslim hokum,
but his citizen-of-the-world shtick is strictly sophomore year — the
great globalist does not even speak a foreign language. Obama has been
called many things — radical, socialist — labels that may have him dead
to rights at the phylum level but not down at his genus or species. His
social circle includes an alarming number of authentic radicals, but the
president’s politics are utterly conventional managerial liberalism.
His manner is aloof, but he is too plainly a child of the middle class
to succumb to the regal pretensions that the Kennedys suffered from,
even if his household entourage does resemble the Ringling Bros. Circus
as reimagined by Imelda Marcos when it moves about from Kailua Beach to
Blue Heron Farm. Not a dictator under the red flag, not a would-be king,
President Obama is nonetheless something new to the American
experience, and troubling.
A very well written article.
