I always enjoy a good chuckle, and the Newsweek editor sparked some laughter with his latest column. It compares conservative icon Edmund Burke to ? you guessed it, President Obama.

On the one hand, it?s nice to see any major mainstream media outlet draw attention to Burke and his valuable insight. On the other hand, it?s disappointing that any person who has considered Burke?s ideas could possibly compare him to the epitome of illiberal collectivism.
