After Carter tried to be a less “imperial” President — carrying his own luggage, wearing jeans, etc. — conservatives claimed that the Reagans restored honor to the Presidency by not eschewing the pomp and glamour.

And remember when Huckabee said:

…his perspective as growing up in Kenya with a Kenyan father and grandfather, their view of the Mau Mau Revolution in Kenya is very different than ours because he probably grew up hearing that the British were a bunch of imperialists who persecuted his grandfather.

So I guess the conservative complaint is that we’ve got an anti-imperialist imperialist President.

The only thing the President’s really guilty of is Presidenting While Black.
