Obama Versus James Madison

During my university years and ever since, I've probably spent more time reading the Founding Fathers of the United States than the average American and definitely more than most Canadians. 

I find Madison most engaging. Obama less so. But that's not his fault. Keep in mind the philosophical backdrop to which each evolved with. The Founding Fathers existed during the Enlightenment; the last great philosophical period in Western culture. Obama operates in a time of great philosophical diminishment. It's no surprise what the results have been.

Not only is anybody not challenging Washington but the people as well.
