Quote of the Day

Historian Victor Davis Hanson, writing in National Review, about the current President:
Certainly, no recent president has failed on so many fronts — honesty, transparency, truthfulness, the economy, foreign policy, the duties of the commander-in-chief, executive responsibilities, and spiritual leadership.
I can't argue with any of the enumerated shortfalls. And here is a factoid I didn't know:
National Journal warned us in 2008 that Obama was the most partisan of the 100 U.S. senators.
Hanson blames the voters, not Barack Obama, for the slough of despond into which we have fallen. He argues, and I agree, that signs and portents of disaster were clear enough before November, 2008, and irrefutable in 2012.
