The truth about Barack Obama is not, as Peter Wehner understandably wails, that “Obama is Worse Than We Thought.” The truth is that Barack Obama has ruled as a remarkably faithful liberal president. Practically everything he has done is right out of the standard liberal playbook and reflects conventional liberal thinking. Obama is not worse than we thought. Liberals are worse than we thought. If you run Wehners reverse-angle replay, from disaster in Iraq to failure in the Middle East to failed foreign policy in general, and then cue up domestic failure with ObamaCare and unemployment, stimulus and increased inequality, weak growth, and low work-force participation, nothing is particular to Obama. All he has done is standard liberal stupidity. And since he has disdained to blend in a conservative play or two, the failure is 100% liberal. The shocking thing about the present moment is the Bourbon aspect. Not Kentucky, but French, as in: liberals seem to have forgotten nothing and learned nothing.
