We knew before he was elected that Barack Obama was the most liberal member of the U.S. Senate. We knew that for 20 years he listened to the anti-white, anti-capitalist ravings of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. and considered him his mentor. We knew that beyond getting some of the asbestos removed from one public housing project in Chicago, he had never actually accomplished anything beyond getting himself elected. It therefore should not have come as a surprise that Obama’s policies have been neither effective nor popular with a country that leans to the right of center. But what has remained a mystery is why Obama has not changed course now that it’s become apparent that his presidency is failing and that he likely will be a one-term president.
The answer became clear last week when Obama called for patience in judging his policies. He compared what he is trying to do to freeing the slaves.
“In every instance, progress took time,” Obama said. “You know, the slaves sitting around a fire singing freedom songs, they weren’t sure when slavery would end, but they understood it was going to end.” In his remarks on leaving the White House as chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel echoed that theme. He called Obama “the toughest leader any country could ask for in the toughest time any president has ever faced.”
