It has become difficult to escape the conclusion that at bottom Mr. Obama is a familiar figure in American public life: an upper-middle-class political Brahmin bent on forcing the masses to participate in his understanding of what is good.

Just so. This is the true conflict in 21st Century America -- between the elites who run the administrative state and who claim to know what's best by virtue of their pedigrees (Ivy League, silk-stocking law firms, non-profits, think tanks, foundations) and the rest of us who work in the real economy. It ought to be no contest, since the productivity of the private sector continues to rise, and examples of the incompetence of government continue to proliferate. But it isn't. Why? Because the administrative state continues to have the support system of Big Media, Big Education, Big Entertainment defining the ideological terms of debate to favor Big Government and liberalism.
