The REAL Third Way

clipped from proteinwisdom.com
He states this because Obama’s constituency is the oppressed.

People of all political positions have commented on whether Obama played the race card or commended himself well but it doesn’t seem that anyone has pointed out that, after some forty years of our Great Society experiment, his call to action about what America’s should be focused on is more fully realizing that experiment - and more can really only mean that we further expand entitlements somewhere above the something more than twenty percent of GNP that it is now. (Doesn’t it occur to anyone that, should we contemplate Kenya, the Sudan, and Darfur (along with many other places in the world), whether we should ask “Is anyone in America really oppressed?”)

Isn’t it time, and really past time, to have a conversation about how the Great Society experiment has utterly failed?
Isn’t it time to talk about the value of personal responsibility

It is the ultimate irony perhaps to suggest to Mr. Obama that there is perhaps a Third Way.
