“Throughout his presidency, Obama has set a very clear tone.

“He’s made it clear that people who disagree with him are fevered, illegitimate, weird, creepy, dangerous, stupid, confused, ignorant, or some other adjective you might assign to a revamped version of the Seven Dwarfs. He’s explained that he doesn’t mind ‘cleaning up after’ Republicans but he doesn’t want to hear ‘a lot of talking’ from them. The time for democratic debate is always behind us with an administration that began with the mission not to let a crisis go to waste, for as Obama said in his second inaugural address, ‘Progress does not compel us to settle centuries-long debates about the role of government for all time, but it does require us to act in our time.'”

– Jonah Goldberg, on Obama
