To Read and Ponder: "The Alien in the White House"

Not "alien" as in from another planet; but "alien" as in a stranger, an outsider.
The contention of this article is that Mr. Obama and his administration are outsiders, aliens, from most Americans' way of thinking.

Ms. Rabinowitz states that Americans want as President "a man of them, for them, the nation's voice and champion." What we got instead was someone whose appointees spend their time "delivering the latest inversion of reality", and whose chief counterterrorism advisor believes that "violent extremists are victims of political, economic and social forces."


I would mention, in addition to this article, a President who appointed as safe school czar a man whose only action when approached by a 16 year old boy having sex with an older man was to wear a condom; a President whose "stimulus" program for jobs is a total waste of money but continues to praise a 10% (give or take a few points) unemployment rate; a President who apparently knew about the severity of the Gulf oil spill but only has had time for parties, speeches, and photography sessions with atheletes---but no time to talk to the head honchos at British Petroleum. Out of touch?
