Christopher Buckley endorses Obama
The intellectual wing of the Republican party is abandoning ship, surely hoping to get back onboard the deck hosed off of the the detritus currently swirling about. In the meantime, Christopher Buckley, William F.’s son, has just endorsed Obama, though not at his NRO post, but at The Daily Beast:
But having a first-class temperament and a first-class intellect, President Obama
will (I pray, secularly) surely understand that traditional left-politics aren’t going to get us out of this pit we’ve dug for ourselves. If he raises taxes and throws up tariff walls and opens the coffers of the DNC to bribe-money from the special interest groups against whom he has (somewhat disingenuously) railed during the campaign trail, then he will almost certainly reap a whirlwind that will make Katrina look like a balmy summer zephyr.Obama has in him—I think, despite his sometimes airy-fairy “We are the people we have been waiting for” silly rhetoric—the potential to be a good, perhaps even great leader. He is, it seems clear enough, what the historical moment seems to be calling for.
