Analyzing the President

Mike Konrad writes a description of the Obama phenomenon for American Thinker. Hat tip to Lucianne.com for the link. Let me share some choice morsels with you:
President Obama is a benighted leftist who actually thinks that, if given a free chance, everyone everywhere would choose a gay friendly, animal loving, socialist world view that by means of democracy would lead the whole planet to a palm fronded halcyon multicultural eco-friendly paradise.

Obama believes the fallacy that all ultra-reformers believe in. The perfectibility of man. If given the right education, the right worldview, the right morality, we would all get along. It is the signature error of all revolutions gone awry.

Our American founding fathers succeeded precisely because they did not seek to recreate man, but through a series of checks and balances, merely contain his darker nature. A more limited view of government.
Like alchemists attempting to transmute lead to gold, revolutionaries keep trying to turn humans into saints with uniformly poor results. We humans are the planet's top predator ... the killer ape ... our "darker nature" needs containing.
