My view only looks distorted to you, my friend, because you have overstrained your rosy lenses.

I ignore most of the crap you drag in from your right wiong pundits because they bloviate so much and rarely try to state things as they are. Take, just for example, this line: "In Obama's rhetorical universe of mist and fog, divided between gray and deeper gray, he drew one vivid line. Holocaust denial, he said, is "baseless," "ignorant" and "hateful." He talked about the "evil" of genocide, repudiated "lies about our history" and challenged Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to visit Buchenwald. Obama's intensity and clarity on this issue were unexpected -- and needed." The implication that this was one factual jewel in a perennial cloud of mist and ambiguity is not the case. But your man seems tio suffer from Alzheimer's where it helps his thirst for intense, if factless, rhetoric. IN terms of combining a broad point of view with a hard nose for facts, Obama's language skills put Gerson's to shame.
