President Obama's second inaugural address was an exercise in partisanship, cultural revolution and narcissism wrapped in patriotic slogans and references to the Founding Fathers that will have some among them turning over in their graves. After a brief opening paean to the Founders, President Obama proceeded to spell out a very partisan agenda, based on radical reforms of our educational system, our tax code, deep cuts in our healthcare system, climate change and gay rights. Some clever speechwriter finally figured out that the overwrought use of the imperial "I" which has regularly dominated President Obama's rhetoric, was inappropriate for the occasion. Yet every time he called on Americans to pull together and work towards "our" common goals, he set out a very narrow set of acceptable policies. Never mind that the President declared that we are now in the midst of an economic recovery and the end of perpetual wars--two highly dubious propositions. The President event told us that the oath that he took today was to "God and country, not party or faction." Why is it that I remain unconvinced? - Harper
