Hope and Change Become Gloom and Doom

So says Victor Davis Hanson at The Corner about the Obamessiah's speech:

Same old, same old of the last two decades.

The convention's final workmanlike message: The country is wrecked. Our freedoms are lost. Our soldiers are victims, not triumphant heroes. We are all impoverished except for a parasitic few. All bad news is not due to globalized changes in a radically different world, but to the nefarious greed of Bush-Cheney-McCain nexus. The Obamas, Kerrys, Pelosis, Gores, et al. who make millions a year and live in mansions, are populists uniquely called upon to tax, expand government, and think of ever new programs, as if the United States doesn't have the largest government and the most ineffective programs in its history.

And this is change? Political transcendence?

Take away the personality cult character of the event and Obama's speech could have been given by any liberal Democrat in the last 30 years.

Nothing new to see here...move along.
