Gore Vidal Changes His Mind

Last year Gore Vidal switched his support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama. Now he seems to be regretting his choice. In response to a question about how Obama is doing he replied as follows:

"Dreadfully. I was hopeful. He was the most intelligent person we’ve had in that position for a long time. But he’s inexperienced. He has a total inability to understand military matters. He’s acting as if Afghanistan is the magic talisman: solve that and you solve terrorism."

Gore Vidal is far from someone who was temporarily swayed by Obama's leftist views. He has always been a leftist. Look at this quote about Republicans from the same interview.

The Republican Party is a party when in fact it’s a mindset, like Hitler Youth, based on hatred — religious hatred, racial hatred. When you foreigners hear the word ‘conservative’ you think of kindly old men hunting foxes. They’re not, they’re fascists.”

Vidal is still a far-left wacko, but even he has discovered that the emperor has no clothes. I wonder how long it will take the American media to figure that out.
