An important insight: we've seen Obama before in history but wonder if HE knows history.

The Second French Revolution

by Ben Shapiro

Every old ideological conflict eventually becomes new again. So it is with today’s battle between the forces of socialism, called “fairness” by its advocates, and the forces of capitalism, labeled “liberty” by its supporters. What we are witnessing is an ancient struggle between those who believe in the rights of the individual and those who believe in a sort of “general will.” Those of conservative bent ardently hope for a second American Revolution; those of the left wish desperately for a second French Revolution...  *** Churchill had things to say that are relevant to Obama and his trip: The inherent vice of capitalism is the unequal sharing of blessings; the inherent virtue of socialism is the equal sharing of miseries. Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy. Some regard private enterprise as a predatory tiger to be shot; others as a cow they can milk. Not enough see it as a healthy horse, pulling a sturdy wagon. When I am abroad, I always make it a rule never to criticize or attack the government of my own country. I make up for lost time when I come home.
