Pointed Perspective
November 6th, 2009One reason to read Charles Krauthammer is that the man rapidly gets to the point while providing previously obscure perspective. He writes about Obama’s election:
2008 was a historical anomaly. A uniquely charismatic candidate was running at a time of deep war weariness, with an intensely unpopular Republican president, against a politically incompetent opponent, amid the greatest financial collapse since the Great Depression. And still he won by only seven points.
This is what the Democrats should fear most – that their hope for change was hung on a weak hook.
