Shelby Steele: Obama and the Burden of Exceptionalism - WSJ.com

Amen!!!

Shelby Steele: Obama and the Burden of Exceptionalism - WSJ.com

Post-'60s liberals, with the president as their standard bearer, seek to make a virtue of decline.

If I've heard it once, I've heard it a hundred times: President Obama is destroying the country. Some say this destructiveness is intended; most say it is inadvertent, an outgrowth of inexperience, ideological wrong-headedness and an oddly undefined character. Indeed, on the matter of Mr. Obama's character, today's left now sounds like the right of three years ago. They have begun to see through the man and are surprised at how little is there.
