Everyone knows that Barack Obama loves his country. What this essay presupposes is… maybe he doesn't?
I enjoy reading Spengler. But I think he was wrong about Rowan Williams, and I strongly doubt that he's right about Senator Obama. This essay is nothing but dirty, but, as Spengler explained in his forum, a candidate who runs on personality makes himself a target for personal attack.
Yet there exists a compelling explanation for the “emptiness” of Obamamania: the more a politician can avoid making promises during primary season, the easier it will be for that politician to swing towards the center in the main race.
John McCain will have plenty of time to make sure that Obama isn't a scary con man as soon as the primaries are done. Having said this, I'm going to get back to trying to avoid politics for the next nine months, unless some massive pro-parliamentary party appears to save us.

Rowan Williams is perhaps one of the most misunderstood men in the world.
Personally, I'm holding out for the dark horse anarcho-syndicalist candidate.
It will be a happy day in the USA if a Burkean parliamentarian runs against an anarcho-syndicalist. THAT is change. To which I say, YES WE CAN!
