The general view seems to be that BO is brilliant -- he may well be, we need to remember that the Unibomber is a genius as well. Being smart and having ideas hat can be applied successfully to reality isn't the same thing. One translation of BOs "abandonment of ideas" is tied up in the definition of "cipher" -- ZERO; One that has no weight. NONENTITY ....
The following quote sums it up pretty well. The price of being "everything to everyone" is at some point simple negation. You have no position, you don't exist. Is that where BO is headed when we finally see behind the curtain?
It is basic choices between opposing principles that Obama is
telling us are "stale" and "no longer apply." And if you think that
ideas and principles still matter, you're a cynic!Thus, Obama begins his administration by declaring that he will run
the government while rejecting any overarching ideas and principles
regarding the proper role and scope of government action. He starts by
telling us, in effect, that he has no idea what he is doing.This is why the rest of the speech sticks to conventional bromides
and tries to split the difference on every big issue. Big government
versus small government; free markets versus government controls;
personal responsibility versus the welfare state; vigorous national
defense versus diplomatic temporizing. Where does Obama stand on these
issues? Nowhere. This is what a cipher sounds like.
