A Great Moment in Punditry

Here's a great moment in punditry, published one year ago to the day, that should not be quietly forgotten. It's Peter Ferrara writing in the American Spectator, June 2, 2010.

Months ago, I predicted in this column that President Obama would so discredit himself in office that he wouldn't even be on the ballot in 2012, let alone have a prayer of being reelected. Like President Johnson in 1968, who had won a much bigger victory four years previously than Obama did in 2008, President Obama will be so politically defunct by 2012 that he won't even try to run for reelection.

I am now ready to predict that President Obama will not even make it that far. I predict that he will resign in discredited disgrace before the fall of 2012.

That's the same Peter Ferrara by the way who claimed in National Review in September 2001 that "there are more Muslims in America than in Afghanistan."
