Off the Reservation   [Mark Steyn]

Thanks to New Hampshire's Third World Internet service, I've been off the old computer for a couple of hours, but when we hooked the wet string back up to the tree I discover that, even though my fellow Cornerites are reluctant to weigh in on Christopher Buckley's embrace of Obama, hundreds of readers were. This distillation of Christopher's argument is not without merit:

Reading Buckley's explanation, I would summarize it as this:

If we view Obama's past political alliances as mere cynical manipulation to advance his career and if we view his election policy proposals as just pandering to the electorate, then we can feel good about voting for him for President because of, ah , oh yes, his character.
