Obama's Answer To Spill Comes Up Short By CHARLES KRAUTHAMMER

Barack Obama doesn't do the mundane. He was sent to us to do larger things. You could see that plainly in his Oval Office address on the Gulf oil spill.

He could barely get himself through the pedestrian first half: a bit of BP-bashing, a bit of faux-Clintonian "I feel your pain," a bit of recovery and economic mitigation accounting.

It wasn't until the end of the speech — the let-no-crisis-go-to-waste part that tried to leverage the Gulf Coast devastation to advance his cap-and-trade climate-change agenda — that Obama warmed to his task.

With the liberal (and professorial) conceit that scientific breakthroughs can be legislated into existence, Obama proposes to give us a new industrial economy.

Notice that Obama no longer talks about Spain, which until recently he repeatedly cited for its visionary subsidies of a blossoming new clean energy industry.

That's because Spain, now on the verge of bankruptcy, is pledged to reverse its disastrously bloated public spending, including radical cuts in subsidies to its uneconomical photovoltaic industry.......................

Well... "Anal" because... Doubleplusungood, Obama? I guess where ever the hell he's from, (even if it is Hawaii)... INGSOC managed to buy him out. :rolleyes:

Barry is preaching fascism. He wants a government controled economy.

He tries to cover up the fact the he's incompetent with the liberal mantra talking points but even they are beginning to see.

:eek:

What a revelation, I tell you. Perhaps they teeter closer to rebellion along with everyone else here in freedomland >:)

Well, he did appoint a clean up czar, didn't he? How many does that make. I think Michelle Malkin counted 40 czars now.

Mustn't let work get in the way of golf, his 6 or 7 prayers to Allah daily, or campaigning for his already passed obamacare and the latest incarnation of Cap and Tax. Plus, he thinks czars take the heat off him if something goes wrong.

Ya know, Jimmy Carter's time isn't looking so bad these days.

Other than 18% interest rates, you are correct.

Jimmy was incompetent, and clueless. The Anointed One is dangerous. He's been given an agenda and is working to fulfill it.

Dude... peanuts and acorns go together. Didn't you know?

Also ... Carter was before my time, and even someone like me can be grateful for that.

The "anointed one" is a puppet with strings.

I'm trying to figure out who's pulling them... (besides populist thinking in general)

Soros.

Soros.

Soros? Lost, I am...

[Rockntractor]

Soros is the Antichrist, at least until a bigger asshole comes along.

Good. Now give me his name so I can arrange an interview with him and other fallen angels. I want to know what hell's like before I decide to go on an eternal vacation from "Paradise" (because "Paradise" sounds like a boring place to remain at indefinitely)

Well, Jimmy was an anti-establishment Democrat. The party leadership hated him, because he didn't do what he was told. He was a total outsider.

Obama, by contrast, is an establishment figure. He entered politics through political activism and community organizing for the Democrats. He was placed in power by the establishment, because (I suppose) the decision was made a Black man would have an easier time getting hard-core socialist policies pushed through. Which was why Hillary was so pissed - the Kingmakers had promised her the throne. The problem with Hillary is that she's actually somewhat moderate, as Democrats go. Compare Hillary-care to Obama-care. It's night and day. Hillary isn't the person to be the face of mass social upheaval.
