with your basic premise that Obama is the Second Coming

Bruce:

The lame age-old stunt of creating rhetorical straw-men to knock down will not hunt here.

I have no such premise. Krauthammer's rhetoric is empty nullification, insisting on making nothing out of what is, for reasons of his own. Obama's accomplishments are lsited in multiple places--Krauthammer says they do not exist. His intent in speaking about responsibility is, in a single sour and twisted sentence or two, reduced from a desire for a more ethical Union to condescension and narcissism. Krauthammer's cynicism abotu what can be done, and how tor evitalize the key germinal ideas of the American experiment, are exactly the problem Obama is seeking, as well as any other human ever has, to remedy--yet all this man can do is snarl and be sardonic.

May he have the joy of it; it is not productive, does not lead to any improvements, does not suggest betterment, or even seek it. It is just sour apples in the mouth of a snake.
