Krauthammer on 25 years as a columnist
Columnist Charles Krauthammer reflects on twenty-five years as a columnist:
"Which brings us to the age of Obama, perhaps -- mirabile dictu-- the most exhilarating time of all. There is nothing as bracing for democracy as the alternation of power, particularly when it yields as serious, determined and challenging an ideological agenda as Barack Obama's. This third wave of transformative liberalism -- FDR, then LBJ,now Obama -- is no time for triangulation. This is not incrementalism.We're not debating school uniforms. When Obama once declared Ronald Reagan historically consequential and Bill Clinton not, he meant it. Obama intends to be the Reagan of the new liberalism."
Thanks, David.
