Is Glenn Beck The New David Brock?

What to make of Glenn Beck's newfound admiration for the Obamas?

In the pages of The New Yorker, Beck says President Obama made him "a better man" and Michelle Obama's words hit him where he lives.

Look, I understand Beck is angered and bewildered by the rise of Trump and how Cruz couldn't hold firm. He is bewildered and angered that conservatives have accepted what Trump says at face value.

But how does any of this make the Obamas any more virtuous than the Clintons?

This is still the President Obama who says rural voters bitterly cling to guns and religion.

This is still the President Obama who says we need to get off our high horse about ISIS.

This is still the President Obama who says if you like your health care you can keep it.

This is still the Michelle Obama who wasn't proud of her country until it elected her husband.

This is still the Michelle Obama who accuses women of racism who dare ask to get something off the shelf at Target.

This is still the Michelle Obama who tells black students they face the same kind of discrimination the Tuskegee Airmen did.

The Barack and Michelle Obama of 2016 are the same as the Barack and Michelle Obama of 2008. If many conservatives now accept the word of Donald Trump as the gospel truth, Beck appears to now be doing the same with the Obamas.

In which case, will Glenn Beck be to the Obamas what David Brock became to the Clintons?
