Seems you nver really know what our present president will say or do next. 

Don found yet another mind boggling example.

"I’m not interested in having battles that frankly started before I was born. The Cold War’s been over for a long time." - Barack Obama, 11 Apr 2015, commenting at the Summit of the Americas on the prolonged conflict between the United States of America and Communist Cuba.

But irrationality, and peop,le being willing to follow it blindly, are nothing new. 

On last week's show, Don mentioned a fellow by the name of Charles Mackay. 

We'll connect some dots this week, showing that what the current rash of what Barack Obama calls "fundamental transformation" may be little more than what a Scottish journalist noted as 

"national delusions" or "peculuar follies:" nearly 175 years ago.
