I saw two “conservative” pundits on TV last night, and one of them compared Barack to Vlad Putin. He said the two men had similar political philosophies, only Barack had “less focus and strength of character.” Barack, for all of his sound and fury, is not an autocrat. He will not force twenty-somethings to pay $400 a month for healthcare premiums. Hillary will. He will not blow up dissidents’ apartments. Vlad already has.
