In the midst of our nonstop Obamacare passage marathon, whose cyclical return resembles the plot of the film Groundhog Day more than anything else, it's time to ask: Upon what does Barack Obama's theory of government rest? The answer here will, more than that to any other question, help predict what the next three-years of his term will resemble. So far, Obama's administration and public policy doesn't seem like any other President's in US history. But why is this? Does he seek to repudiate our supposed recent failures? Or is his aim much broader, to obliterate our entire way of life, replacing it with something more exotic or sinister?
