The Watcher’s Council
Issues concerning Obama, although not Obama himself, won in the Watcher’s Council this week. The winning Council post, Joshua Pundit’s The Afghanistan Blues looks at the problem Obama got for himself with that region; and the winning non-Council post, Paul Kengor’s How the Academic Left Elected Obama, examines the mindset in American universities and the way in which it paved the way for uncritical thinkers who (unsurprisingly) unthinkingly embrace someone who spouted meaningless platitudes while hewing Left behind the scenes. Here are the rest of the results:
