| 52. books aren't going to necessarily predict political behavior |
|
and I really don't think Hillary, Obama or Edwards will ever make themselves into great writers of the calibre of a Karl Marx or a V.I. Lenin. Maybe decent politicians, but not great writers and great politicians at the same time, like Lenin, Fidel Castro, and Mao Zedong. These Dems are pragmatic but not particularly inspiring as revolutionary thinkers.

| -What does Obama really believe? What does he really think about Reagan? |
