I think Obama and many with whom he has surrounded himself are doubly bad for what this nation has historically been. Yes, they’re bad because they arrogantly believe there is no constraint against them enriching themselves at the public trough in classic Chicago style. But they are doubly harmful because of the sense of entitlement they have brought to governance. Obama, his wife, and many members of the inner circle were raised on affirmative action, believing they qualified for their entrance to fine schools, scholarships, and select company because of historic wrongs. I think this moves them to work toward redress of those wrongs on a grand scale at the same time they plunder the nation’s treasure. The attitude they bring to their seat of power and influence is pernicious, destructive and arrogant. Kagan’s hearing were a display of classic arrogance. We can only hope that loss of majority status in Congress next January will stop this plunder. F
