Voting "Present" Again

Economist / columnist Robert Samuelson, who claims that President Bush was the worst president we had in the last 200 years, had this to say about The One's stimulating porkgasm:
Obama's political strategy fails to address adequately the economy's present needs while also worsening the long-term budget outlook. Some of his "temporary" spending increases in practice will almost certainly become permanent. There were tough choices to be made -- and Obama ducked them all.
Who could have seen that coming?

And this statement deserves to be carved in granite:

"President Barack Obama said in an interview aired on Monday he worried that detainees freed from the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo, Cuba, might resume attacks on the United States. But he told NBC News that closure of the prison was a matter of upholding U.S. values and law, and that a failure to do so would ultimately make Americans less secure."

This is a man who wants to save us from debt with more borrowing and make us more secure by increasing the odds of being attacked by terrorists.

Smart guy, that Obama!

It's insanity you can believe in!

Does it ever feel like the part of Atlas Shrugged near the end of the book to you? The part where the Daschles and Dodds and Obamas and Geithners have dropped all pretense and are simply looting the country, hoping for someone else to bail them out?

Yes, it does feel like that. "Looting the country"... I like that. A nicely turned phrase. The Stimuloid Bill really does remind me of post-Katrina N'awlins without the [ahem] good offices of the NOPD. There must be some flat-screen TVs somewhere in those 800 pages.
