To twist a line from William Hazlitt, Living the life of a Democrat is the art of being well deceived.
Adam Smith in the Wealth of Nations spoke of the unseen “hidden hand” in a free economy that miraculously helps steer the path of an economy towards rational and productive outcomes.
In warfare, there are a few times when the unseen hand of fate seems to steer one party to victory despite overwhelming odds and daunting logistical challenges. In recent history, that may be best seen in the Battle of Midway where a badly damaged and demoralized US Navy gained a decisive victory over a larger, more confident Imperial Japanese Navy.
Politics occasionally sees such a hidden hand where a person embarks on a meteoric rise to power. Yet, in modern history has anyone, ever, anywhere had such a streak miraculous good luck as Mr. Obama? An unseen “hidden hand” seems to be stacking the deck in Mr. Obama’s favor. Bill Whittle of PJTV does a terrific job of articulating the amazing string of profoundly helpful coincidences that have repeatedly opened doors and allowed such an inexperienced and narcissistic empty suit to rise to the most important and most powerful position in the entire world.
Who built Barack Obama? Certainly the dangerously incompetent political parties share blame in not recognizing the risk such a person places our nation in. Equally to blame is a criminally negligent fourth estate who abandoned any sense of professional integrity or curiosity about Mr. Obama. A pathetically ignorant citizenry indentured to identity politics certainly has a part to play here as well.
