“Maybe we pushed too far,” said Mr. Obama according to Ben Rhodes upcoming book.
So let’s unpack this, as they used to say back in the Obama years. Would you consider using the powers of the U.S. government to legally intimidate and bludgeon your political opponents to be “pushed too far?” Let’s ask Dinesh D’Souza.
I think you can put the answer to that down as a “yes.”
I would like to wish Ben Rhodes success with his new book. Because who deserves success more than a failed novelist turned national security advisor who decided to write historical fiction instead?
Hopefully it will compensate for his failure as a writer of fiction. Maybe it will also make up for his failures in the field of international arts and as a practitioner of domestic political prosecution. Who knows, if he had been better at his job…
Rhodes strategized and ran the successful Iran-deal messaging campaign, helped negotiate the opening of American relations with Cuba after a hiatus of more than 50 years and has been a co-writer of all of Obama’s major foreign-policy speeches.
maybe his (former) boss would have succeeded in fundamentally transforming America.
So I drink to Ben’s previous failures and offer for your Friday pleasure this month’s first installment of schadenfreude. Laugh till you cry.
