But everything in Obama&#8217;s background comprises a sound reason to fear what he will do as president, particularly in the company of Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid. At a minimum, we&#8217;re about to fail to learn yet again what made the Great Depression so lengthy and so painful.

Both of these goons are national socialists, lacking all conviction but full of passionate intensity. McCain is nothing to be preferred. But Obama strikes me as a cipher very much to be shunned. The worst of it is, we won&#8217;t know the worst about Obama until after it&#8217;s too late. The blood-dimmed tide is loosed.
