THE MYTH OF OBAMISM

THE MYTH OF OBAMISM VICTOR DAVIS HANSON You see, Obamism is an emotional flight from reality, completely unsustainable to the degree it is a paradigm for anything. It is mythical, this notion of borrowing vast amounts of money to grow government and subsidize a new cadre on government support, or demonizing millions as suspect for their success, or assuming that foreign nations react best to apologies, contextualization, and sermons, or wish to join in the cultural adulation of an American president. Putin could care less. Ditto the North Koreans. In short, in this mythical age, we all know that Barack Obama won the Nobel Prize, but none of us quite know what for. Such is what passes for reality in our age of myth.
