CHARLES IS SO RIGHT – AT 8:05 A.M. ET: Former President Obama accepted the "Profiles in Courage" award from the Kennedy family a few nights ago, prompting one to wonder what courage he ever displayed.
Charles Krauthammer noticed something else. From Mediaite:
Former President Barack Obama spoke last night about the importance of political “courage” in his first public remarks following the health care vote in the House last week. Charles Krauthammer – not a big Donald Trump fan – tonight said Obama expressed a level of condescension that served as a good reminder of why we should be grateful he’s out of office.
“It’s been a full 100 days,” Krauthammer observed, “but it was nice to be reminded of why we should be grateful as a nation he is gone.”
He said the “complete moral condescension” Obama showed last night in talking about opponents as cowards and building himself up as the one holding the “courageous position” is nonsense.
Krauthammer said this was a recurring element throughout Obama’s eight years and concluded, “Good riddance, Mr. President.”
COMMENT: You can see the video of Obama in the linked story. He and his Democratic crowd never learn anything. They believe themselves to be superior in every way, and they make clear their feelings. When they get together, they're insufferable.
I guess the Kennedys had to give Obama the award since Caroline served under him as ambassador to Japan. But Obama seems out of place whenever true courage, or character, is discussed. A more fitting recipient would be the leader of the Navy SEALS, or a similar figure. But I'm not sure they have much standing among today's liberals.
