Hanson Takes Obama To the Woodshed

Victor Davis Hanson has had enough of our hypocritical and hyper-partisan President. Take a minute to read this post from the National Review Online.

Hanson calls out Obama for "sermonizing" about the need to reduce harsh partisan rhetoric while he is regularly guilty of just such conduct. Here's a sample:

"Obama’s inflammatory language and tough metaphors are not all that unusual in the American political tradition. But what is odd is that a habitual participant in brass-knuckles political combat should call for the sort of civility that he himself did not and will not abide by.


We are now engaged in a continuing debate about debt, taxes, and spending. Both sides have vastly different ideas about how to solve our financial problems, and they will continue to embrace tough talk to win over public opinion to their respective sides. We hope for the best argumentation but expect the worst — democratic politics being what it is. And President Obama, the past master of bare-fisted partisan invective, knows that better than anyone."

Have at him, Victor!
