Deja vu: The Fall of Wendell Willkie and Why it Matters

We all remember the Great Depression. We all have learned of Hoover's failures and FDR's New Deal. We've (well, some of us) know that the legend Franklin Delano could have stayed for a 4th term if he hadn't been killed in the process.

But who remembers Wendell Willkie?

Wendell Willkie...you know, that Wendell Willkie, the spry runner-up to FDR's throne in the election of 1940. The young, charismatic, Washington outsider who inspired millions and came from a relatively (very) inexperienced political career.

Sound familiar?

American Thinker has posted something new that just tickled me red (since pink is far too girly). It's called "Barack, Meet Wendell". I strongly advise you to click the link below for some intellectual enlightenment in your quest for ammo against Obamautomatons.

It's great, factual, enlightening, all that jazz. I'd never even considered comparing this election to the 40's, but apparently there is much cause to do so as of now. The article suggests that Obama's hubris and riskiness will ultimately be his downfall. More on this later; I've got to finish the whole thing!
