Obama Apparently Wasn't on "The Right Side of History" After All

Obama Apparently Wasn't on "The Right Side of History" After All: Since the first days of his presidency, Barack Obama has cast himself as occupying "the right side of history" and exploited Martin Luther King, Jr.'s phrase that, "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice."

Now in the final days of that presidency, even Obama must be confronting the distressing possibility that the phrase is either an empty one, or alternatively that the arc actually bent against him and marooned him on the wrong side of history.

In objective historical terms, of course, the concept of the universe's moral arc bending toward justice is of dubious merit. After all, under that theory modern times should presumably have manifested diminishing injustice.
