Hillary lacks historical perspective

In an article aptly titled "Hillary's Late Hit", Patrick Buchanan steps in from ringside to the Obama-Hillary grudge match and lands some unexpected but devastating body blows to Senator Clinton. This is political commentary at its best. Buchanan draws comparisons between Obama and American foreign policy presidential giants such as Eisenhower, LBJ, JFK and even Nixon that go a long way to bring the "big picture" and some much-needed historical perspective back into Hillary's false debate. I won't spoil the article for you, but it involves the likes of Stalin, Mao and other "bad people" who U.S. Presidents did not cower from, and left me wondering if, given her remarks this week, Hillary wouldn't take up residence in Cheney's infamous bunker immediately after swearing in. I don't often endorse opinion articles, but this one is insightful and concise. It left me with a fresh outlook on Obama, and a new sense of possibility for U.S. foreign policy. If you have five minutes today, give it a read.
