The Hypnotist

In a recent essay at the Huffington Post, Michael Brenner nails it. Mr. Obama, he writes, "is what we used to call a moderate Republican before the species became extinct." To get at some context on diverse political and foreign policy issues I asked Michael for a free-form tour d'horizon. I think it would be fair to say his bottom line is "anything is possible," but not necessarily in a good way. Even so, in these troubled times it's a blessing to hear some independent, unconventional thought. Total runtime an hour and five minutes. De oppresso liber.
