Spengler: How Friendless Obama Lost the Election
"Combine a child's response to serial abandonment with the perspective of an outsider, and Obama became an alien species against which American politics had no natural defenses.
He is a Third World anthropologist profiling Americans, in but not of the American system. No country's politics depends more openly on friendships than America's, yet Obama has not a single real friend, for he rose so fast that all his acquaintances become rungs on the ladder of his ascent.
One human relationship crowds the others out of his life, his marriage to Michelle, a strong, assertive and very angry woman.
If Novak's report is accurate, then Michelle's anger will have lost the election for Obama, as Achilles' anger nearly killed the Greek cause in the Trojan War. But the responsibility rests not with Michelle, but with Obama.
"Obama's failure of nerve at the cusp of his success is consistent with my profile of the candidate, in which I predicted that he would self-destruct. It's happening faster than I expected. As I wrote last February: 'It is conceivable that Barack Obama, if elected, will destroy himself before he destroys the country. Hatred is a toxic diet even for someone with as strong a stomach as Obama ... Both Obama and the American public should be very careful of what they wish for. As the horrible example of Obama's father shows, there is nothing worse for an embittered outsider manipulating the system from within than to achieve his goals.' By all rights, the Democrats should win this election. They will lose, I predict, because of the flawed character of their candidate

Obama succumbed to the character weakness I described in a February 26 profile of (Obama's women reveal his secret).
His peculiar dependency on an assertive and often rancorous spouse, I argued, made him vulnerable, and predicted that Obama
"will destroy himself before he destroys the country"

Hey Doug
I read this one a few days back and thought it basically sound. I find Spengler almost as enjoyable a read a Wretchard's work.
I agree with Spengler's central thesis, i.e. that Obama is very insecure and that it shows up in the company he keeps and particularly the women in his life. The way he has been lashing out at Palin is really a something to behold. He really seems rattled and to have lost sight of the fact that he's not running against her, but against McCain. Biden, I would think, should be on the attack against Palin, if anyone. Actually., I think they'd both be better off to ignore her and concentrate their fire on McCain.
But this woman thing, his need to attack Palin, is telling.
