Former President Barack Obama drew quite a crowd recently at the Obama Foundation Summit in Chicago. That’s not news. But his pointed observation of the Left’s “woke” culture is worthy of headlines. Being “woke” seems to mean that your eyes are wide open to everyone else’s political sins. Essentially, “woke” on the Left has become conformity to a political dogma, and may God help you if you are still asleep.

As Obama put it: “This idea of purity and you’re never compromised, and you’re always politically ‘woke’ and all that stuff, you should get over that quickly. The world is messy; there are ambiguities.”
