"A Postmodern Presidency" by Victor Davis Hanson

Mr. Hanson has summarized brilliantly the situation we have put ourselves in with the election of Obama - our first postmodern President. As a great historian he has analyzed the events of the last 14 months and is telling us why it is happening and where it will lead.

THE BEST ANALYSIS OF OBAMA I HAVE SEEN!! A MUST READ!!!

His closing paragraph gives you a summary of his explanation:


"I could go on, but you get the picture of our first postmodern presidency. For 14 months we have tried to use abstract benchmarks like “did Obama contradict himself?,” “did Obama break another promise?,” “did Obama really think borrowing another $2 trillion won’t help to bankrupt us?,” “did Obama indeed think another entitlement ’saves’ money?,” “did Obama snub another ally and court another enemy?,” “did Obama apologize again?” — when, in fact, such linear thinking, such artificially constructed “norms,” such “facts” are nothing of the sort at all. To Obama, our first postmodern president, such facts and truth are mere signatures of privilege, and so he is offering us another — a postmodern — way of looking at the world."
