From Charles Krauthhammer in yesterday’s Washington Post…a worrying analysis of B Hussein Obama’s ideas on “Moral Equivalency”.

“Even on freedom of religion, Obama could not resist the compulsion to find fault with his own country: “For instance, in the United States, rules on charitable giving have made it harder for Muslims to fulfill their religious obligation” — disgracefully giving the impression to a foreign audience not versed in our laws that there is active discrimination against Muslims, when the only restriction, applied to all donors regardless of religion, is on funding charities that serve as fronts for terror.

For all of his philosophy, the philosopher-king protests too much. Obama undoubtedly thinks he is demonstrating historical magnanimity with all these moral equivalencies and self-flagellating apologetics. On the contrary. He’s showing cheap condescension, an unseemly hunger for applause and a willingness to distort history for political effect.

Distorting history is not truth-telling but the telling of soft lies. Creating false equivalencies is not moral leadership but moral abdication. And hovering above it all, above country and history, is a sign not of transcendence but of a disturbing ambivalence toward one’s own country.”

From the man who talked about “my Muslim faith” yet professes to be a Christian and said on television that the U.S.A. had 57 states (no, jug-ears, that’s a made-up number of Heinz varieties) you have to worry about the competence of the so-called leader of the free world.

Read the whole article. It’s well worth your time.

At least we can get shot of our Glorious Leader in a few months. Three and a half years still left of BHO.
