"Whenever you put forward an idea that enrages both the left and the right, you can feel pretty certain you've come close to the truth.
A while back — I can no longer locate the post — I advanced the notion that Barack Obama is a hapless schmuck.
The theory was greeted with derision from both sides.
Leftists, of course, were furious because it's clear to them that even their president's failures are a product of his genius.
He's just too smart for the rest of us to comprehend what it is he's doing.
Rightists were upset because I had offended their certainty that Obama is evil.

- A war that was fought and won when Obama took office has to be fought all over again.
