It’s been a little less than a year.
At first, given Obama’s antecedents, I was persuaded that he’s misguided, as are many who’ve never been honestly self-supporting. But when the roll call of his associations became public knowledge, it became far easier to believe that he’s evil.
Obama’s performance in office has been marked by the sort of cunning that reinforces a verdict of evil. But there’s more to the story. No evil-but-smart person would have appointed nearly so many “giveaway” henchmen — persons whose anti-American views are on public record — or have instigated a “war” against a major media outlet. An evil-but-smart person would have drawn the required lesson from the maneuverings he had to perform during the 2008 campaign to preserve his chances.
Sometimes it’s not “stupid or evil.” Sometimes it’s “stupid and evil.”
