Charle Krauthammer: And Where Are The Witnesses To His Ability?
I have always loved Charles Krauthammer - he’s always a voice of reason amid the insanity. Here’s an excerpt from his most recent article about Barack Obama entitled: And Where Are The Witnesses To His Ability?. This article is today’s must read…….here’s a snippet:
Thought experiment. Assume John McCain had retired from politics. Would he have testified to Obama’s political courage in reaching across the aisle to work with him on ethics reform, a collaboration Obama boasted about in the Saddleback debate?
“In fact,” reports the Annenberg Political Fact Check, “the two worked together for barely a week, after which McCain accused Obama of ‘partisan posturing’ ” ” and launched a volcanic missive charging him with double cross.
So where are the colleagues? The buddies? The political or spiritual soul mates? His most important spiritual adviser and mentor was Jeremiah Wright. But he’s out. Then there’s William Ayers, with whom he served on a board. He’s out. Where are the others?
The oddity of this convention is that its central figure is the ultimate self-made man, a dazzling mysterious Gatsby. The palpable apprehension is that the anointed is a stranger ” a deeply engaging, elegant, brilliant stranger with whom the Democrats had a torrid affair.
Having slowly woken up, they see the ring and wonder who exactly they married last night.
