Why People Hate Columnists
Swampland — ... Charles Krauthammer is working on the basis of, like, zero information when he says: Obama has no intention of being a foreign policy president. Unlike, say, Nixon or Reagan, he does not have aspirations abroad. He simply wants quiet on his eastern and western fronts so that he can proceed with what he really cares about -- his domestic agenda.

Transformation is his mission. Crisis provides the opportunity. The election provides him the power. Will Naomi Klein go on a weekend bender as a consequence of reading this comment?

And now he has a national crisis, a personal mandate, a pliant Congress, a desperate public — and, at his disposal, the greatest pot of money in galactic history. (I include here the extrasolar planets.) It begins with a near $1 trillion stimulus ...
