The author presents the position of the radical eco-left, which will require a complete restructuring of society and the magical development of new technologies to replace existing ones. One should not be surprised. Googl'ing the author one discovers his career has been that of a Global Warming advocate.

I'm one of silly voters in the vast middle. I'm waiting for the believers on both sides, left and right, to actually debate the science behind their positions. Today all I see are political declarations of being "right" or "correct". The science has been taken over by the politically correct on both sides.

Overall, not a bad analysis and review.

However, I cracked up laughing at "I truly believe his (Obama) kind of leadership will be crucial in moving the country forward after the polarizing Bush administration." Pleeezzeeeeee........ Obama (no experience Dem Hack) with a Dem Congress - Pelosi (radical Dem Political Hack) and Harry Reid (Dem political Hack) is going to reach across the aisle and not be "polarizing"?! Nothing in ALL their biographies indicate that. We're just shifting from one polarizing administration to another.

Oh please Glenn....

Your proof of the "Bush Doctrine" being well known is a paper written for the American Enterprise Institute and another in a political wonk magazine Commentary?! Wow! All 40 people inside the Beltway who subscribe to those two magazines will be impressed.

As for the candidates, even your quotes show that Obama was never "quizzed" what is the Bush Doctrine. Gibson TOLD Obama what it was, Obama THEN responded. The same as Palin.

Get over the "she didn't know what the "Bush Doctrine was" gotcha. The issue is what did she think once she knew.

Sheesh....

Mark Davis/Rush Limbaugh are the evil lords of doom from "Seven Days in May", while you give a total pass to any offense from the "feisty comedian Wanda Sykes"? Come'on....

Did you protest too much over the left's constant and bitter calls for Bush's head during the last 8 years? No......

How about a little honesty about your bias?

Gad, get over it.

It could be that Americans don't see the need for all the socialism you advocate. Just because other countries have gone a socialist route doesn't make it the right solution for the U.S. As my mother would say, "just because your friends do something stupid/wrong, doesn't give you an excuse." Duh.........

The racist rampant in your article is the man you see when you are looking in the mirror shaving.

Give out awards based on feelings and good intentions, consequences be damned. Actual experience, accomplishments or accountability.... ha! WTF are those?!

The Nobel committee just repeated the 2008 U.S. election based on feelings and blind hope.

We're so royally screwed.
