Even if you are not a fan of Rush, I think he nails it here. Worth a couple of minutes -
He makes some points which are similar to what Riehl has posted re the O:
What appears to be a lack of attention paid to political reality is actually a single-minded determination to ignore what Americans want and to use the tools of community organizing, intimidation, coercion and, most importantly, deception to achieve his goals.
And
Obama is not a man born to, nor interested in serving. He is someone convinced he exists to lead you to where he believes things, or America should be. Unfortunately, his unusual upbringing, life experience and classroom experience left him thinking unlike the majority of Americans. He is an elitist, through and through, not the man of the people he pretends to be.
Carter had similar traits, though of a different sort. He was self-righteous, while Obama is simply pretentious. In some ways that makes Carter the better man. What a frightening thought. At least Carter's ideas and goals had a noble quality, even if they were naive. That isn't the case with Obama.
Ultimately, his goals are selfish, or self-centered. Other than his own thinking, or the thinking of other liberal elites, he has no truly great tradition of thought to back him up. This is the self-centered and ultimately disastrous mindset of the post-sixties generation, bought into the mindset that went before and turned into an intellectualism it doesn't deserve to be.
