Dr. K talks about the extent to which the frenzy surrounding Obama resembles a cult. "Obama as cult" is not an idea he originated but one upon which he elaborates with elegance and venom. He concludes about Obama:
He's going around issuing promissory notes on the future that he can't possibly redeem. Promises to heal the world with negotiations with the likes of Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Promises to transcend the conundrums of entitlement reform that require real and painful trade-offs and that have eluded solution for a generation. Promises to fund his other promises by a rapid withdrawal from an unpopular war -- with the hope, I suppose, that the (presumed) resulting increase in American prestige would compensate for the chaos to follow.Miss Peggy observes all the bad news the Clinton campaign has had to absorb in the past week or two and marvels at how Hillary manages to act like nothing has happened. She wonders if anybody, for or against her, believes the "everything is fine" spin?
