"A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe." -- President Obama, Feb. 4.
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.

Glad to see Charles come down to reality. I wish he would have seem it sooner.
This was scathing to Obama in a very polite way.

also zip it over to CNBC! (horrible jobs numbers come out today) Obama is going to use the speech that is driving DOWN the market today coupled with jobs numbers to create a panic attack. Republicans need to hang together, we need voters from the weak republican senator states to contact them!

Great article, great post. Thanks.
Yeah, he was on that panel at Fox News after the third debate, commenting on how wonderfully Obama had performed. I couldn't believe the crap I was hearing from them.
While this is a very incisive article, how much in the way of "kudos" does Krauthammer deserve for arriving late at the party?
Quite possibly the best columnist in the country (IMO) Nails it again! FWIW, I wrote to snarlin Arlen, (my gag) senaotr, expressing outrage at this bomb of a bill.. We’ll see if he’s awake enough.
"After Obama's miraculous 2008 presidential campaign, it was clear that at some point the magical mystery tour would have to end. The nation would rub its eyes and begin to emerge from its reverie. The hallucinatory Obama would give way to the mere mortal. The great ethical transformations promised would be seen as a fairy tale that all presidents tell -- and that this president told better than anyone. I thought the awakening would take six months. It took two and a half weeks."
37% and falling fast. No wonder he is yelling and shouting.
"Michelle?"
I was going to give hime six months to get in real trouble. His administration has unwound at an alarming rate. Any word on his ‘thoughts’ on Kryzghstan closing an American base? Thought not.
I thought the awakening would take six months. It took two and a half weeks.
We still have a sense of self-preservation!
Cue Hallelujah Chorus!
unwound and fallen apart (but he has a spiffy air force one jacket)
Obama is an empty suit who was to give pelosi socialists a free hand and he failed.
next time acorn will be more blatent with their fraud.
What's the 37%? Porkulus approval or Obama's approval?
Oh, and, Obama:
This guy's laughing at you, too.
Best line in the column, LOL!
Glad to see Charles come down to reality
I agree. For a while I thought he had sipped the magic koolaide.
The 37% should be for both soon enough.
He doesn't know what he's doing or what he is talking about.
The math doesn't add up. This is WHY affirmative action is so wrong.
There are no thinking adults in charge at the White House.
It's a "Home Alone" sequel in Washington.
One thing Is cropping up in media speak. It is an emphasis on the fact that Obama let Pelosi write this bill.
Well you know, Obama is the President, not Pelosi. I see people giving him a pass because he didn’t write it. Sorry, I believe all this is what he wanted and he was aiming to get it all through using the economic crisis to overreach. His evil little advisor has said he didn’t want to waste a good crisis.
Pelosi put a few bennies in there for SF, but Obama is responsible for this abomination.
Likewise, and Casey, too.
