Mark Steyn: Obama can't walk on water after all
...A president doesnt have to be able to walk on water. But he does have to choose the right crew for the ship, especially if hes planning on spending most of his time at the captains table schmoozing the celebrity guests with a lot of deep thoughts about hope and change. Far worse than his cabinet picks was President Obamas decision to make the stimulus racket the all-but-sole priority of his first month, and then outsource the project to Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, and Harry Reid. Appearing on The Rush Limbaugh Show last week, I got a little muddled over two adjoining newspaper clippingsone on the stimulus, the other on those octuplets in Californiaand for a brief moment the two stories converged. Everyones hammering that momshes divorced, unemployed, living in a small house with parents who have a million bucks worth of debt, and shes already got six kids. So she has in vitro fertilization to have eight more. But isnt that exactly what the Feds have done? Last fall, they gave birth to an $850 billion bailout they couldnt afford and didnt have enough time to keep an eye on, and now four months later theyre going to do it all over again, but this time they want trillionuplets. Barney and Nancy represent the in vitro fertilization of the federal budget. And its the taxpayers wholl get stuck with the diapers....Go read it all Posted by: Mike 2009-02-09 |
