I am in the process of reading “Dreams From My Father.” I fail to see the things in it that Christopher Buckley finds so overflowing. Granted, I am no literary critic and am no stellar writer, but the alleged literary qualities in this perhaps ghost written autobiography are not really the point.

Obama’s policy preferences, his advisers, his voting record, and all of the things he is trying to bury and hide ARE really the point. And so one has to wonder if Christopher Buckley is curious about THOSE things?

I still do not see the brilliance that these other people see in Barack Obama. All I see is a man who, at 47 years of age, failed to do what I did at 32 years of age: leave revisionist Marxist thought. Plenty of people did what I did: dabble in it in our youth, and eventually find both the evidence of history and the myriad of problems with it intellectually one big stack of cognitive dissonance.
