Copyrighted Image? DMCA | The overarching thrust of the GOP attack on the president in New Hampshire has not been that he's to blame for a crappy economy. It's that he is not one of us and that the election at hand is not a face-off over policy disputes but a clash over the future of the idea of America. Romney, Santorum, and Gingrich are essentially calling the president a foreigner (Europe, Europe, Europe!) and campaigning to purge this country of Obama's otherness. It's an ugly narrative for ugly times. |
