Dashing hopes: The prez & politics as usual
NY Post ^ | June 5, 2010 | Rich Lowry

Let's be grateful that Barack Obama's contempt for poli tics as usual is a matter of public record.

Otherwise, we might be saddled with a White House that offers federal jobs to potential candidates it wants to keep out of Democratic primaries, and does it in such a crude fashion that it skirts the law.

We might witness the release of pertinent news about one of the cases on the Friday before a three-day weekend in one of the oldest, most predictable PR tricks in the book.

We might have to rely on a sketchy document purporting to outline the facts from a conflicted White House counsel that's a kind of haiku of lawyerly obfuscation.

We might have to read statements from White House officials in the press denying a job was ever offered to one of the candidates, when an e-mail released by the candidate clearly demonstrates an offer of a job.

We might have to tolerate a White House press secretary who dances and spins his way through ethical questions he simply wants to outlast and make go away.

This is worse than ‘politics as usual’. We have a socialist-activist with a sophomoric world view in the White House. We have a President who doesn’t believe in America.

Priceless article.

Leaves me thinking that Obama is not Carter II, he’s Nixon II.
