The more Obama insists that he’s not naive, the clearer it becomes that he is dreadfully naive–with a complementary political cynicism added to the mix. Obama is horrendously naive on the issue of nuclear proliferation, as today’s news regarding a ChiCom-Iranian plot uncovered reveals*:

You know, good for him, but honestly some activities really ought to be pursued behind a paywall.

I don’t know much about how practical fascism works, but this seems almost as if it could serve as an object lesson, were one willing to, you know, squint…

Me, I have a slightly different take: as with everything else in his life, Obama views the Presidency as a mere stepping stone to the next even bigger thing over which he is entitled to take ownership. His entire existence is one long campaign push, and he has quite clearly built his identity around a belief in his
