As I exited the Dunkin’ Donuts in Boston’s Seaport District this morning, I was approached by an attractive middle-aged, female newspaper reporter from Norway (along with her photographer) who wanted to know the three biggest challenges facing “the new President”.
After reminding her that President Obama wasn’t exactly new, I told her the three biggest challenges were the deficit, the Middle East and his ego.
I’ll see if I get hate e-mail from Norderhov.

Counting the Costs of Clintonism
The debacle of this president’s administration is both a cause and a symptom of the decline of American values. Unless Congress impeaches him, that decline will go on unchecked. An eminent jurist surveys the damage and assesses the chances for the recovery of our culture.

Perhaps an answer to the question with another question would have been in order: "How would you expect the Norwegian people to feel in 1945 if, instead of arresting Vidkun Quisling, they learned he had been elected to a second term?".

Not a bad analogy Albert. Forgive them for they know not what they do. Every special interest group will claim a mandate for their particular facet of the Leftist agenda. We have sown the wind.
