Naming What's Wrong

Robert Weissberg at American Thinker has written an extraordinary piece. In it he explains—I think in the most accurate way—the unease and disquiet most Americans are beginning to feel.

While Progressives continue to contribute it to racism and other character flaws, Mr. Weissberg has identified and given a name to the problem so many of us have with Barack Obama and his entire administration:

"Alien Rule."

"The suspicion that Obama is an outsider, a figure who really doesn't "get" America, grew clearer from his initial appointments. What "native" would appoint Kevin Jennings, a militant gay activist, to oversee school safety? Or permit a Marxist rabble-rouser to be a "green jobs czar"? How about an Attorney General who began by accusing Americans of cowardice when it comes to discussing race? And who can forget Obama's weird defense of his pal Louis Henry Gates from "racist" Cambridge, Massachusetts cops?

If the American Revolution had never occurred and the Queen had appointed Obama Royal Governor (after his distinguished service in Kenya), a trusted locally attuned aide would have first whispered in his ear, "Mr. Governor General, here in America, we do not automatically assume that the police were at fault," and the day would have been saved."
