摘要

The left wanted a messiah, and the right believed it had found the perfect foil: a Democratic president with an exotic name and an alleged disdain for the largely mythic rural world of God-fearing gun owners. In truth Barack Obama-like the nation he leads and the world that is watching closely-eludes glib categorization. For a long time he believed that he was successful in elite circles (Columbia, Harvard Law) because other people, black and white, saw in him what they wanted to see, not necessarily what was there. Now no sentient person should be in much doubt about the nature of the 44th president. The Afghanistan deliberations and the ensuing address at West Point give us, I think, the clearest insight into the real Barack Obama that we have yet had. He is comfortable with ambiguity and with tragedy, but believes, with Franklin Roosevelt's old Groton headmaster, Endicott Peabody, that "the greatfact to remember is that the trend of civilization itself is forever upward; that a line drawn through the middle of the peaks and the valleys of the centuries always has an upward trend."
