The Obama/FDR Chasm

This Megan McArdle piece on how sweeping historical narratives/Ur-myths have poisoned our ability to think rationally about present day circumstances is one of the smartest, most incisve I’ve yet read on the flailing Obama presidency.

Yes, Obama was and is not FDR. He is the son of a radical sixities mother, the grandson of two communist grandparents, the mentee of a black man who was a communist, a student of Alinsky and marxist professors, a husband to a woman who has never been proud of her country, a friend to domestic terrorists, and a memebr of a church whose preacher screams, "GD America".

Think rationally? We are way beyond the capability of this.
