This column by Monica Crowley is brilliant. I completely agree (and have been saying) that Barack Obama is an aberration in American politics. He was elected not because he was experienced (or even competent) in governance, but because white people wanted to prove to themselves and their friends that they weren't racist. "How can I be racist when I just voted for the dark-skinned guy?" Obama, a narcissist, mistook the self-loathing white vote as support for his beliefs and values and proceeded to transform the country. Thank God he failed in many of his attempts. Donald Trump will return the country to its fundamental principles and values, the main one being the rule of law, which for Obama was an obstacle to be overcome rather than an ideal to be realized.
