American Thinker: A Stranger in Our Midst
American Thinker: A Stranger in Our Midst:
As the Obama administration enters its second year, I -- and undoubtedly millions of others -- have struggled to develop a shorthand term that captures our emotional unease. Defining this discomfort is tricky. I reject nearly the entire Obama agenda, but the term 'being opposed' lacks an emotional punch. Nor do terms like 'worried' or 'anxious' apply. I was more worried about America's future during the Johnson or Carter years, so it's not that dictionary, either. Nor, for that matter, is this about backroom odious deal-making and pork, which are endemic in American politics."
