...this just in. Temperatures in hell have reached a record low of 31 degrees........
She’s just laying groundwork for her Wellesley crony Hillary Clinton.
I’m more convinced everyday she’s making another run for 2012 now.
HFO ping.
Hmm.
WTF? Susan Estrich wrote this?
Sorry. I have a strict NO READ policy on Estrich. Deathly afraid of lowering my IQ and seeing a photo of the old hag.
Susan Estrich’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
“For all intents and purposes, unless you have some very special skill to sell, there are simply no jobs. You want to wait tables or make coffee drinks? Good luck. Get in line.”
Susan, for once you are so so right.
It still frustrates me to hear Freepers talking about losers who aren’t working. A year ago or more it was true, but not anymore.
Yup.... but she absolutely nails this one, and for all of the right reasons. Plus which, Estrich is not stupid. And this stuff is all obvious, and it's galling to those who stand to get screwed by it ... and who aren't a priori Obamaphiles.
But I suspect there's more to this.
Now, I believe that Ms. Estrich is a big Hillary! supporter. Some of her ire may come from the fact that Hillary! is trying to fight her way out of Obama's shadow.... and the best way to do that is to hit Obama hard on a topic where Hillary! has already done work.
Foreign policy will fail on its own, so Hillary! is not to blame. ObamaCare is ghastly ... even Hillary's version looks sane by comparison.
It's all part of the script.
“I reassured her that the Democrats would never be that foolish. I hope. Maybe it’s time for Congress to get out of Washington. They’ll get an earful when they do.”
By the way, this is exactly why Obama wants it passed before they leave August 7.
For all intents and purposes, unless you have some very special skill to sell, there are simply no jobs. You want to wait tables or make coffee drinks? Good luck. Get in line. The idea that somehow you're going to tax the "rich" enough to pay for quality health care for every American who doesn't have it, can't afford it or stands to lose it, not to mention for all of the undocumented aliens who receive it for free now and presumably will continue to in Obama health land, is almost laughable. It's one of those things candidates say in campaigns, ignoring the fact that it doesn't add up. But in a bill that might pass? Add a 5 percent surtax on every small business in the country that makes $250,000 or more? This is going to create jobs? What am I missing? The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office came out with a report this week concluding that the bill being written by House Democrats would increase the deficit and weaken the already weak economy. Duh.
