Buchanan never realized this, and continued in folly even after leaving the presidency. He didn't support the Emancipation Proclamation and blamed all but himself for the Civil War. This wretch should serve an important lesson for neophyte Obama. Action, however well intentioned, can lead to catastrophe not easily mended. As Vietnam era Democrat McGeorge Bundy said, "Once you get on the tiger, you don't get to choose where to get off." There are no "average" presidencies, only average presidents. With the approach he's taking, Barack Obama will be lucky if he's one of them.
"A sinister cabal of superior writers."

Heh,
I see nobody has wantecd to commented on your article. Nobody wants to connect the dots to disaster.
Of course, the problem is that no matter who you chose last November, disaster was headed your way. McCain could have been another Herbert Hoover, and vacuumed up all the contempt of the land against the rich. Eventually, you Americans will see the Blessed of Hussein for what he really is - the tool of rich thieves with no class at all.

Dock, this article really has me thinking. I've got no comments about it yet - I might never - but I'm impressed by it.
