Devastating Critique of Obama by Harvard Prof

Read Niall Ferguson's article published in Newsweek Magazine (and linked below at The Daily Beast).

Ferguson is no light-weight. Here's his bio:
Niall Ferguson is a professor of history at Harvard University. He is also a senior research fellow at Jesus College, Oxford University, and a senior fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. His Latest book, Civilization: The West and the Rest (a copy of which I have, autographed!) has just been published by Penguin Press.
Ferguson's concluding statement is worth pondering:

The voters now face a stark choice. They can let Barack Obama's rambling, solipsistic narrative continue until they find themselves living in some American version of Europe, with low growth, high unemployment, even higher debt—and real geopolitical decline.

Or they can opt for real change: the kind of change that will end four years of economic underperformance, stop the terrifying accumulation of debt, and reestablish a secure fiscal foundation for American national security.

I've said it before: it's a choice between les États Unis and the Republic of the Battle Hymn.
