[lbo-talk] Engelhardt on Obama

[Chuck Grimes]

``And yet who living in this riven, confused, semi-paralyzed country of ours 
truly believes that, in 2011, Americans can achieve whatever we set out to 
accomplish? Who thinks that, not having won a war in memory, the U.S. 
military is incontestably the finest fighting force now or ever (and on a 
"climb to glory" at that), or that this country is at present specially 
blessed by God, or that ours is a mission of selfless kindheartedness on 
planet Earth?''

It's comentary on Obama's speech a couple of weeks ago, which I forced 
myself to watch just to see if he would say something. He didn't as you can 
tell from the above.
