ON THE COVER
The Limits of Hope
Obama, we’re told, is “the agent of transformation in an age of revolution.” He doesn’t just know the truth, he knows “how to be the truth.” His words do not inform, they “elevate.” He is “the triumph of word over flesh, over color, over despair.” Creepy? Yes. Unprecedented? No.
By Jonah Goldberg
