We constructed railroads and highways, the Hoover Dam and the Golden Gate Bridge. We did those things together," he said, in a passage that was presumably meant to be inspirational but was delivered with the faintly petulant air of a great man resentful at having to point out the obvious, yet again.

You seriously think your guy is going to put up another Hoover Dam? Let me quote one Deanna Archuleta, Obama's Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Interior, in a speech to Democratic environmentalists in Nevada:

"You will never see another federal dam."

So today our money-no-object government spends lot of money but to no great object. What are Big Government's priorities now? Carpeting Catholic universities with IUDs. Regulating the maximum size of milk-coffee beverages. As Obama told us: "'That's how we built this country – together. We constructed railroads and highways... Together, we touched the surface of the moon, unlocked the mystery of the atom.' And as we will one day tell our grandchildren: 'Together, we touched the surface of the decaf caramel macchiato and deemed it to be more than 16 ounces. Together, we unlocked the mystery of 30-year-old college students' womanhood. One small step to the IKEA futon for a lucky Georgetown Law freshwoman, one giant leap for womankind. Who will ever forget the day when the Union Pacific Board of Health Compliance and the Central Pacific Agency of Sustainable Growth Enhancement met at Promontory Community College, Utah, to hammer in the Golden Spike condom dispenser?'"

Steyn is en fuego.

This is a classic. I haven't laughed that hard an article in a long time.

‎"But these days we can't build a new Hoover Dam, only an attractive new corner office for the Assistant Deputy Assistant Deputy Assistant Secretary to the Secretary of Deputy Assistants at the Department of Bureaucratic Sclerosis, and she'll be happy to issue a compliance order that the Hoover Dam's mandatory fish ladders are non-wheelchair accessible, and so the whole joint needs to close. That we can do! If only we dare to dream Big Dreams!! Together!!!"

and then this one:

‎ "And as we will one day tell our grandchildren: 'Together, we touched the surface of the decaf caramel macchiato and deemed it to be more than 16 ounces.

LOL!!

Steyn as good as ever!

Hoover dam?

Hoover Dam was built by a private consortium of Construction firms with their own mone. They were known as the Big Six.

Mark Steyn for President!

I like the “We . . . “ pose: This joker is not even an American!

Not only did he not take any part in ANY of these accomplishments, but he’s not even part of the nation that did, and in fact he despises it.

Our accomplishments as a people are just a prop to him.

What a piece of trash.

We used to have three branches of government. We have drifted to only one, and the perpetrator deems himself untouchable. Somewhere along the way, someone decided that "Executive Orders" trumps Congress, and can nullify legislative actions, those pesky constitutional laws.
And Congress (both branches) seem to allow it. No Problem. No instant appeal to the Supreme court. Is this what was meant by WTF (win the future?)

The First Criminal can choose which laws he executes and which he ignores.

Lost in all the rhetoric is the obvious demonstrable crime of violating his oath of office.* Is it still perjury if he made his oath on the koran?

All those clueless congresspeople had better figure that out soon, before the faggots and pitchforks come into play.

* "I, Barack Hussein Obama, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and I will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."

Emphasis mine.
I doubt that claiming genetically impaired ability will be accepted as a legal excuse.

"You will never see another federal dam."

Given we have already dammed everything worth damming, all that is left is to start damning some things.

Every one of those listed huuman exceptional achievements could not be built today under the oppresive ignorant administration of the EPA, The Corpse of Engineers, and the hundreds of unaccountable bureaucrat administrators.

Arbitrary and capricious is the rule of the day. And the ordinary citizen is helpless to find champions to challenge the new unconstitutional self-appointed delusional emperor.

Which means we'll just have to fix things here. How likely is Barack Obama to do this? A few days ago he came to Cleveland, a city that is a byword for economic dynamism, fiscal prudence, and sound government. He gave a 54-minute address that tried the patience even of the most doting court eunuchs. "One of the worst speeches I've ever heard Barack Obama make," pronounced MSNBC's Jonathan Alter, as loyal Democrat attendees fled the arena to volunteer for the Obamacare death-panel pilot program.

If he has lost sycophants like Alter, he really is in trouble.

One of the best Steyn pieces ever. And that's saying something!

But Obama offers an even more absurd evolution of this grim trope: "I can be anything I want to be as long as you chumps dream your dreams."

Unless we can get rid of this tyrant and his hordes of control freak minions, we are good and truly f*cked!

Self-pity is never an attractive quality, and in an elected head of state even less so. Obama whines...

Obama whines... the 'doting court eunuchs' of the MSM fail to notice...

An absolute masterpiece. ; )
