This column also from Friday penned by Charles Krauthammer says it all in 8 paragraphs what we've been saying all along, that Obama is a made for tv myth and now he's resorted to Chicken Little impressions in less than two weeks showing his condescension towards Americans as a whole who he has no respect for after seeing how many he was able to fool this last summer.
So now it's already time for those Americans to admit their terrible mistake, and lets just do all it again if we have to, we can't afford four years of this lying and cheating rookie, that's for sure.....
So the vaunted Age of Obama begins with a frenzy of old-politics influence peddling and fear mongering which Obama and the left accused president Bush of while protecting us from a real threat instead of this economic threat they dems created in order to ride in on their white horse with the solution. Some of us aren't buying what he's selling.
Fear
Charles Krauthammer - The Fierce Urgency of Pork
- washingtonpost.com: "Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared 'we have chosen hope over fear.' Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.
And so much for the promise to banish the money changers and influence peddlers from the temple. An ostentatious executive order banning lobbyists was immediately followed by the nomination of at least a dozen current or former lobbyists to high position. Followed by a Treasury secretary who allegedly couldn't understand the payroll tax provisions in his 1040. Followed by Tom Daschle, who had to fall on his sword according to the new Washington rule that no Cabinet can have more than one tax delinquent.
The Daschle affair was more serious because his offense involved more than taxes. As Michael Kinsley once observed, in Washington the real scandal isn't what's illegal, but what's legal. Not paying taxes is one thing. But what made this case intolerable wAt least Tim Geithner, the tax-challenged Treasury secretary, had been working for years as a humble international civil servant earning non-stratospheric wages. Daschle, who had made another cool million a year (plus chauffeur and Caddy) for unspecified services to a pal's private equity firm, represented everything Obama said he'd come to Washington to upend.
And yet more damaging to Obama's image than all the hypocrisies in the appointment process is his signature bill: the stimulus package. He inexplicably delegated the writing to Nancy Pelosi and the barons of the House. The product, which inevitably carries Obama's name, was not just bad, not just flawed, but a legislative abomination.
It's not just pages and pages of special-interest tax breaks, giveaways and protections, one of which would set off a ruinous Smoot-Hawley trade war. It's not just the waste, such as the $88.6 million for new construction for Milwaukee Public Schools, which, reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, have shrinking enrollment, 15 vacant schools and, quite logically, no plans for new construction.. continued
