"Those of us who consider ourselves moderates…are forced to confront the reality that Barack Obama is not who we thought he was."

There is an old German folktale about the burgers of Schilda who decide to build themselves a new Town Hall. It is to be an impressive structure, imposingly large, richly marmoreal and beautifully furnished. And so it turns out. But after they complete the project and gather to celebrate their handiwork, they discover that they have forgotten to include windows. In the midst of their festivities, they can scarcely see one another, stumbling about in the dark interior, colliding with their fellow celebrants and barking their shins against chairs and tables.

Out of his theoretical musings Obama is imposing a failed ideological strategy upon an anxious and reeling nation. It should by this time be obvious that, for all his undeniable charm and apparent rhetorical facility,
he is an unqualified rookie, a “leader” with no experience in governing, immature in his enthusiasms and prey to faddish socio-economic theories with a distinct leftist stamp that have never worked wherever they have been tried.

It’s a good article, but someone needs to tell Mr. Solway that a “burger” is a sandwich consisting of a ground meat patty—the word he’s looking for is actually “burgher”.
