TRUST YOUR LEADERS
1. Obama says “We were so busy just getting stuff done and dealing with the immediate crises that were in front of us that I think we lost some of that sense of speaking directly to the American people about what their core values are and why we have to make sure those institutions are matching up with those values,” he told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos. Huh! Getting stuff done? Like closing Gitmo? You bragged about that promise incessantly then failed to keep it. Like listening to the father of a terrorist worried his son is going to strike? That didn’t get done. And then there’s the stuff that did get done–shoveling money to the states to shore up public employment while private employment continues to fall. Expanding the debt ceiling. Letting the House and the Senate design the stimulus package and health care. What did you get done? Cash for Clunkers? Near nationalization of the auto industry and the financial sector? You did win the Nobel Prize. Congratulations.
2..And yes, you did lose a “sense of speaking directly to the American people” about our core values. When was your last press conference, Mr. President?
Unfortunately, it’s the wrong admission. And yes, I know it’s all spin. But the answer is a lot simpler. Maybe the dogs don’t like it!
3. George Will nails it: “The essence of contemporary liberalism is the illiberal conviction that Americans, in their comprehensive incompetence, need minute supervision by government, which liberals believe exists to spare citizens the torture of thinking and choosing”.
4. “Head Start,” the flagship pre-kindergarten program introduced in 1965, has been a $166 billion failure. That’s the upshot of a sophisticated multi-year study just released by the Department of Health and Human Services
