Quote of the day....

The crippling truth of the Obama presidency is the pessimism of the man, the low expectations he has for this republic. He had not come forth to awaken this country to its stirring first principles, but to manage its decline at home and abroad. So odd an outcome, a man with an inspiring biography who provides no inspiration, a personal story of "The Audacity of Hope" yielding a leader who deep down believes that America's best days are behind it.

From Fuoad Ajami Op-Ed piece in the WSJ, here. Personally, I never liked the person. I think that he is nothing more than an empty suit that unfortunately was able to fool Americans to think that he was like them. But he is not like us, he is nothing more than a big government, redistributionists that is nothing more than a typical European socialist. I find these kind of people and him, in particular, repulsive.
