"While we are followers of Jefferson, there is one principle of Jefferson's
which no longer can obtain in the practical politics of America. You know
that it was Jefferson who said that the best government is that which does
as little as possible... But that time is passed. America is not now and
cannot in the future be a place of unrestricted individual enterprise..."

—Woodrow Wilson, quoted in Liberal Fascism, Jonah Goldberg, p92.

"If you are not a progressive, you better look out."

—Woodrow Wilson, quoted in Liberal Fascism, Jonah Goldberg, p104.

When the Cheering Stopped was (and I guess it still is) a history by Gene Smith about the final years of Woodrow Wilson after his popularity plummeted.

I admit this PhotoShop conflation of Obama and Woodrow Wilson is a bit of a slur on President Wilson. Woodrow, at least, had some executive experience -- if only as president of Princeton and as governor (for two years) of New Jersey -- where Obama has none. Also, Mr. Wilson managed to hang on to his popularity with the public for a respectable amount of time. It took seven years and a World War for him to become despised. Obama is losing all that whumped-up good will much more quickly.
