The Impending Obama Meltdown

by Victor Davis Hanson - February 4th, 2009 - National Review Online

We are quite literally after two weeks teetering on an Obama implosion ... brought on by messianic delusions of grandeur, hubris, and a strange naivete that soaring rhetoric and a multiracial profile can add requisite cover to good old-fashioned Chicago politicking.

It is when Victor gets to the growing threat from foreign powers that have already figured out this Magic Marxist Messiah is in way over his head that a patriotic American starts to shiver. Four years. Four years of this amateur. Four years of destroying free markets and incompetent foreign negotiations from weakness.

Dear God, what will be left even if we do have a Republican renaissance and evict this imbecile after one term? Will we ever get back to a free nation? Or will we be irrevocably destined to become a weak socialist shell of our former greatness?

Victor Davis Hanson, a brave American from a line of Indian warriors, is not usually this concerned. However two weeks of the obvious incompetence of Barack Obama is enough to rattle anybody.
