Kunstler's Monday Blog - Obama Reality

From a former advocate of Obama.

"the intelligent minority of this nation lacks the one thing that animates intelligence in the service of reality, and that is the courage to tell the truth. I suppose this is what galls so many former Obama boosters: that the "hope" vested in him would be enacted in truth-telling, which would lead to "change" in the choices we make about doing things. What we ended up with seems to be something like a false champion with a good line of talk. Mr. Obama may yet be pushed into a recognition of the reality he did not personally create, and this may occur as the US economy heads much more drastically south in the months ahead."

I don't agree with a lot of things he says, but Kunstler is very enjoyable to read. He will challenge your viewpoints no matter what perspective you bring to the discussion. I think that we may see a less aggressive version of the future than he portrays.
