Most Dems aspire to be Santa Claus. Obambi hasn’t paid attention:
It is a pity that Mr. Obama has been energized into a new state of belligerency and contempt for all those who do not blindly and subserviently follow his lead. To engage in something of a fantasy, it would be nice to think he would go back and study the Santa Claus story with an eye to understanding the narrative elements that account for its huge and enduring popularity. He could definitely learn from them.
The real Santa in children’s minds actually listens and asks them what they want. Santa and his elves may be “watching” but they don’t interfere to keep children from being bad. There’s the real drama in the story. To earn a just reward children learn from an early age that they must begin to take responsibility for their own actions. And finally, Santa, the gift-giver, comes only once a year. He’s not expected to be an every-day presence in our lives.
