Today's Reading Assignment

...from Dorothy Rabinowitz of The Wall Street Journal. She refers to President Obama as "The Alien in the White House," a man completely disconnected from his fellow Americans, save members of his elite, ideological class. A sample paragraph:

A great part of America now understands that this president's sense of identification lies elsewhere, and is in profound ways unlike theirs. He is hard put to sound convincingly like the leader of the nation, because he is, at heart and by instinct, the voice mainly of his ideological class. He is the alien in the White House, a matter having nothing to do with delusions about his birthplace cherished by the demented fringe.

Read the whole thing. Simply brillant.

I still don't understand why a demand for a birth certificate indicates a "demented fringe". Seriously.
How about school records?
Transparency?
Raised in Indonesia, in a madrassah, and in a Hawaiian enclave of communists and pimps, somebody paying for his exclusive education and this woman is just now recognizing this?
We said this last year!
He's not an American by culture, citizenship or no.

Like I have been saying all along, the man is an empty suit and is not an "American" in the truest sense of the word. He is the titular leader of the Blame America First crowd. Mid term elections and then the 2012 general election after everything crashes next year. It is going to be an ugly 2 years and 5 months.
