From Ace:
‘Obama has three aspects which make the path of the tyrant likely:
1. He has a monstrous narcissism and actively encourages a pseud-religious passion in his followers.
2. He’s a socialist, and therefore believes in the totalizing power of government and politics.
3. He’s incompetent, and therefore can never solve a crisis and bring a situation into a stable state. Instead, we simply move from one crisis to another.
All these work horribly well together. An incompetent socialist’s reaction to failure is, of course, more socialism. A socialist who already believes in the untrammeled power of government and politics is even a bigger believer when he conceives of himself as a near-god.’
