Revenge is Obama’s rail

Posted by William A. Jacobson on November 03, 2012 44 Comments

It's nice that in his closing argument Obama has articulated more perfectly than ever before his political philosophy of revenge. While various people are reacting as if Obama has gone off the rails, revenge is Obama's rail. Dividing Americans into groups and playing each against the other...
