Obama's audacity
Power Line —
... is accessible to subscribers online. The lead essay by CRB editor Charles Kesler is "The audacity of Barack Obama" (subscribers only). Based on a comprehensive reading of Obama's books and speeches, Professor Kesler deduces that Obama's ambition is not merely personal, but is political and Rooseveltian in scope. Indeed, he finds that Obama faults Bill Clinton for failing to pursue large, transformative policies, or for being unable to pursue them because of his personal failings: Obama praises Bill Clinton more highly than any other contemporary Democrat, because Clinton ...

If you are curious about what plans the Obama administration is working on to reshape American society, or what the consequences of current policies might be, attention must be paid. Among those who have been paying close attention is Charles Krauthammer. In "Obama: The grand strategy," Krauthammer postulates "a tripartite social democratic agenda: nationalized health care, federalized education (ultimately guaranteed through college) and a cash-cow carbon tax (or its equivalent) to subsidize the other two."
The column is Krauthammer's final installment in a series including "Obama proposes a European U.S." and "Deception at ...
