The Wrong Side of History – Obama’s on It

Over the weekend, President Obama implicitly declared himself the arbiter of the arc of history. He asserted that his host, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, is on the right side of it. That only shows how much on the wrong side he is.

In just the past week, Mr. Obama declared himself in favor of Eurostatism and Britain’s continued submission to it. His administration signed a climate change accord that will wreck the U.S. energy industry, without appreciable impact on whatever warming is happening.

He is sending more forces to Syria without a coherent strategy and even as he hollows out the U.S. military. And he supports open borders for Islamic supremacist migration.

Ronald Reagan’s view of history was one that he would shape with a basic goal: “We win. They lose.” Barack Obama seems to prefer, “They win. We lose.”
