O rips the American way By CHARLES HURT Last Updated: 4:51 AM, December 25, 2009 Posted: 2:00 AM, December 25, 2009 WASHINGTON -- Increasingly unloved and ridiculed from both sides, a new and embittered President Obama is emerging this Christmas season as he begins a badly needed vacation in Hawaii. In an interview on the eve of yesterday's health-care ram-through, Obama expressed his deep frustration over the legislative process. The president accused Republicans of abuse for employing the very rules that make the Senate the "world's greatest deliberative body." "If this pattern continues, you're going to see an inability on the part of America to deal with big problems in a very competitive world, and other countries are going to start running circles around us," Obama warned. What he is saying is that other governments around the world -- those tyrannical states that do not share our respect for the minority -- are better forms of government, better equipped to compete in this modern world. This is a frightening new side of Barack Obama. The humiliating causes of his frustration are obvious: the farce in Copenhagen and the difficult birth of health-care legislation in Congress. Since his arrival on the national stage, Obama has been blessed with adversaries who overplay their hand claiming he is a "Manchurian candidate" out to destroy America from inside. Obama won last year's historic election by rising above that nonsense. His casting aspersions on the very genius of the American government because he can't get his way is cause for alarm. churt@nypost.com O rips the American way - NYPOST.com (26 December 2009) nypost.com
