It seems a far fetched notion but President Obama and the First Lady grew up in the “hot house” Leftist environment. And the Left always despised “the money press.”

Very true. If you listen to or read hard-core Leftists, like The Nation or Pacifica Radio, you’d know they have for decades despised all of the MSM, even the NY Times, as a tool of right-wing capitalist interests. Well you know, the MSM does, now and then, utter a word about Cuba that might possibly be seen as negative. Enough to enrage the hard Left.

And that’s where Obama comes from.

History is strewn with the wrecks of nations which have gained a little progressiveness at the cost of a great deal of hard manliness, and have thus prepared themselves for destruction as soon as the movements of the world gave a chance for it. — Walter Bagehot

I fear those movements are afoot.
