the now President Obama discovered that his Bush the Constitution-shredder had been a clumsy caricature of Bush the sober commander-in-chief.

At least there are signs, albeit hypocritical, that he has in fact made such a discovery. We see nothing of the sort in Congress, still intent on pillorying an administration that is rapidly fading into the distance in order to excuse its own complete lack of accomplishment. What it has managed to accomplish in three short weeks is to burden the country with an incomprehensible level of debt, rather like "stimulating" an already overladen beast by adding a ton or two to its burden, secure in the knowledge that when the beast inevitably collapses they can always blame the other fellow, which is, after all, what the Dems are best at. That is not governance and it certainly isn't leadership.

In less than a month we are looking at the astonishing reality of socialism enacted in a hysterical rush, show trials, repudiation of central tenets of foreign policy that have kept both ourselves and our allies from accepting Islamist terrorism, and the accession to power of an incompetent, categorically corrupt class of time-servers and ward-heelers unmatched since the days of Warren Harding. Meanwhile what is evidently uppermost on the minds of the country's cultural illuminati are the President's torso and what darling Michelle wore to the last society political function, every single visit to the grocer on the part of the long-sufferinc citizen now concluded by a gantlet run through newsracks of treacly hagiographic goo. If it is intended to ameliorate the sting at the cash register, it isn't working.

One month. The real hazard of this porkulus idiocy isn't that it won't work, a likelihood measurable by numbers too small for the average hand calculator, but that the country's economy will recover despite it and the Democrats feel compelled to manufacture another crisis on whose wings to float their next bit of confiscatory graft, redistributive theft, class warfare, and muddle-headed social nonsense. We went careening from crisis to crisis under Carter, too, and the really sad thing is that too many of them turned out, through sheer neglect, to be real after all, Iran being an extant example that still confounds those obligated to try to clean up Jimmy's mess. Obama will not manage it by repeating the same mistakes, by impaneling the same team, by spouting the same idiot pablum, but that is precisely how he is now proceeding.

Must be nice to bask in the warm glow of Obama´s halo, soaking up the gushing omnipotence that flows from the letters on his teleprompter, completely ignorant to the harsh reality of the world in which we live.
