Obama's Strident Tone A Product Of His Desperation?

[Geee]

Investors Business Daily:

"It is a great advantage to a president, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know he is not a great man." Calvin Coolidge

Energetic in body but indolent in mind, Barack Obama in his frenetic campaigning for a second term is promising to replicate his first term, although simply apologizing would be appropriate.

His long campaign's bilious tone — scurrilities about Mitt Romney as a monster of, at best, callous indifference; adolescent japes about "Romnesia" — is discordant coming from someone who has favorably compared his achievements to those of "any president" since Lincoln, with the "possible" exceptions of Lincoln, LBJ and FDR. Obama's oceanic self-esteem — no deficit there — may explain why he seems to smolder with resentment that he must actually ask for a second term.

Speaking of apologies, Syracuse University's law school should issue one for having graduated Joe Biden.

In the 2008 vice presidential debate, he condescendingly lectured Sarah Palin that Article I of the Constitution defines the executive branch. Actually, Article II does.

In this year's debate, he said overturning Roe v. Wade would "outlaw" abortion. Actually, this would just restore abortion as a subject for states to regulate as they choose.

Biden, whose legal education ended well before he was full to the brim, was nominated for his current high office because Democrats believe compassion should temper the severities of meritocracy.
