Akin again

From the Kansas City Star today:

Another week, another outrageous pronouncement by U.S. Rep. Todd Akin.

The GOP nominee for the U.S. Senate seat from Missouri said during a TV interview that Obama “apologized” to U.S. foreign enemies because “he didn’t like America.”

In a subsequent interview with St. Louis radio host Charlie Brennan, Akin offered a convoluted explanation, saying that Obama had declared he wanted to change America, and why would you want to change something unless you didn’t like it. “He wants to fundamentally change who we are,” Akin told Brennan.

Listening to the interview with Brennan, it becomes clear that Akin dwells in a universe where every move the president makes is taken as more proof of some sinister agenda Obama has set out to impose on America.

That a congressman actually subscribes to such nonsense is sinister in itself.
