"The Selective Modesty of Barack Obama"

(h/t to Roy R. for bringing this to my radar screen)

This article by Charles Krauthammer ties a few things together -- from his "number one priority for NASA" to remarks over the past year.  It does make me wonder how Obama views America -- not just our history or governement or process -- not the theory, but the belief in what America has been, is today, and can be tomorrow.  The potential of America, in my opinion, lies in the belief that we are a collection of ordinary people capable of doing extraordinary things, due in no small part to the fact that our society and government sees the individual as sovereign and equal -- a trait that is immutable and irrevocable.  Krauthammer makes some very good points here -- well worth a 5 minute read.
