Charles Krauthammer on the Sorry State of the State

Summary of Charles Krauthammer's Remarks

Last Monday was a profound evening. Dr. Charles Krauthammer spoke to the Center for the American Experiment. He is a brilliant intellectual, seasoned & articulate. He is forthright and careful in his analysis, and never resorts to emotions or personal insults. He is NOT a fear monger nor an extremist in his comments and views. He is a fiscal conservative, and has received a Pulitzer Prize for writing. He is a frequent contributor to Fox News and writes weekly for the Washington Post. . .

(The above was received as an e-mail and is re-printed here as a public service without major edits or commentary.

(It is important to note that the above is a summary interpretation of Dr. Krauthammer’s remarks to the Center for American Experiment and that he has taken objection to the dissemination of this summary mainly due to misrepresention of his rhetoric and not on substantive grounds.

(Dr. Krauthammer notified the Center that this “summary of his speech . . . is ‘neither accurate nor authoritative.’ “

(However, a perusal of 5 internet links he provided to the Center demonstrate no appreciable variation from the summary’s content. Those links to columns printed in The Washington Post soon after Obama’s inauguration began with “The Obamaist Manifesto.” All are available here: http://bit.ly/4vVpOF.

(Without taking issue with Dr. Krauthammer’s objections, I would suggest that he at least acknowledge the substantive truth of the summary even if the presentation and articulation of his views falls far short of his outstanding verbal and written skills.

(Let’s all work together, Doctor.)
