| Obama's Radicalism Revealed | It’s only the second week and the Obama Administration already feels old and tired. Year in and year out, the President keeps saying the same things. Over and over again. By this point, we’re tempted to simply tune him out.
But that would be a mistake.
|  | | Fretting Over Success | Influential liberals have a new cause célèbre—income inequality. The World Economic Forum’s annual Davos Summit, where the elite meet to greet each other in the Swiss Alps, identified “severe income inequality as the most likely global risk.” It’s purportedly a bigger problem than food or water shortages, communicable diseases or “major systemic financial failure.”
It would be tempting to stop right here and cheer. Some people are going to make more money than others in the years ahead; we already knew that. So where’s the problem?
| | | Presidential Speeches Quiz: Who Said It? | Barack Obama has compared himself to many Presidents. First he ran as Abraham Lincoln reincarnated. He even appealed to the spirit of Ronald Reagan. Then he tried to govern like Franklin D. Roosevelt. He campaigned for re-election as Harry Truman running against a “do-nothing” Congress. He’s been to Osawatomie, Kansas, to channel Theodore Roosevelt.
His second inaugural address is no exception. It reads as if Obama lifted entire phrases from previous presidential speeches.
Quiz time: See if you can figure out who said what.
