Ace is on fire with this spot on accurate\u00a0assessment\u00a0of our Dear Leader<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Let me suggest something that many conservatives realized after the debate:\u00a0Obama did not do that badly.<\/em>\u00a0For Obama. He was the same listless, droning, exhausted-of-ideas scold we have seen for at least two years now (and maybe three).<\/p>\n

He was Obama.\u00a0This is what he is.<\/em>\u00a0He is not quick-witted. He is not, as I think I saw Mickey Kaus note, a wonk. He has never been a wonk, a detailed-policy guy.<\/p>\n

He is a guy who speaks vacuously of hopes and dreams and change and fairness.<\/p>\n

He always has been.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…<\/p>\n

I repeat:\u00a0This is who Obama is.<\/em>\u00a0He has\u00a0never<\/em>\u00a0been this brilliant intellect and keen policy analysts liberals have, in their BubbleWorld, dreamed him as.<\/p>\n

The problem is not that Obama is or was awful. The problem is that he is what he always is —adequate<\/em>\u00a0and hardly ever more — and Romney is actually on top of things, an accomplished executive with a winner’s thirst for victory an an A-student’s understanding of what victory requires.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

…<\/p>\n

I hate to defend Obama at all, but I have to say to his Religious Zealot supporters:\u00a0This is\u00a0your<\/strong>shit.<\/em>\u00a0This is your deeply weird, Great Man on a White Horse worshipping psychological hangup.<\/p>\n

One of the most wonderful things which will come with a Romney presidency is that Romney willfinally<\/em>, once again, separate Church and State. The president, finally, will just be a man. Not a perfect man. Not a prefigurement of Jesus. Not a prophet and not a savoir.<\/p>\n

Just a man. A good man, and a smart man. But ultimately just a man.<\/p>\n

The fusion of religion and politics\u00a0has<\/em>\u00a0in fact been every bit as deleterious as the liberals always warned us.<\/p>\n

It’s just that they were the ones who actually fused God and President.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Read the whole thing. It really is a spot on and well written piece.<\/p>\n

If you think the religious references are over the top, you need to dial the wayback machine about 4 years, and reread the “Lightworker” article in the SF\u00a0Chronicle<\/a>, and remember that it was not an isolated incident<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
