A Liberal Confesses

This is a remarkable confession from a liberal academic offering a candid assessment of President Obama. Drew Westen recycles all of the favorite talking points of the left in his screed/whine, which makes it tedious to read, but the following excerpt is telling, precisely because it is a liberal who finally admits it. (But it's nothing that a conservative didn't already know. We were shouting it from the rooftops in '08.)

From The New York Times Sunday Review:

Those of us who were bewitched by his eloquence on the campaign trail chose to ignore some disquieting aspects of his biography: that he had accomplished very little before he ran for president, having never run a business or a state; that he had a singularly unremarkable career as a law professor, publishing nothing in 12 years at the University of Chicago other than an autobiography; and that, before joining the United States Senate, he had voted "present" (instead of "yea" or "nay") 130 times, sometimes dodging difficult issues.

But hey, let's hand him the keys to the Oval Office! Nice work, libs.
