"You can call this class warfare all you want,” but I’m going to tax the bejeebus out of some robber barons."

"Nothing so ratifies the essentially reactionary nature of Obama’s liberalism than his speech yesterday in Kansas, where he is now attempting to assume the mantle of both Roosevelts—Teddy as well as Franklin. So he’s going to try to combine Teddy’s populism of 1912 with FDR’s attack-the-rich class envy of 1936, with an overlay of Truman’s “do-nothing Congress” strategy of 1948. Under it all is an economic ignorance—ATMs and the internet cost jobs??—so appalling that it confirms the long-standing stories as well as Ron Suskind’s reporting that Obama and his senior team don’t listen to their economists. But above all, whatever happened to the liberalism that was about the future, about “the new frontier,” if it is reduced to using 100-year old rhetoric and 70 year-old campaign strategies?"
