From Brett Joshpe’s “Obama’s Kool-Aid”
“Therein lies much of the fundamental difference between Obama’s
supporters and his detractors. Obama believes that something, or
someone, has let Americans down, something resembling George W. Bush,
free markets, Wall Street, and our own exceptionalism. There is a
great irony in all of this too, because Obama says the economy must be
built from the bottom up. However, when it comes to building a
society, he clearly believes that it must be designed from the
government down. We might call it “trickle-down” paternalism. Rather
than empowering people to make their own decisions and to accept
responsibility for them, Obama wants government to fulfill that role,
and he wants government to be “cool again” in the process.”
