It's a rare occurrence when Joan Vennochi gets something right, but even she can see the messiah is on the slippery slope.
His transition team let him down. So did fellow Democrats who control Congress.
The string of Cabinet nominees with tax problems showcased a lack of proper vetting and an overabundance of arrogance. Either way, it produced a team whose key players are limping rather than leaping onto the field. Some prospective teammates never made it out of the locker room.
What happened with Obama's economic stimulus plan also stings. Democrats couldn't wait to push as much of their liberal economic agenda as possible, as quickly as possible, whether or not it helped Obama's post-partisan agenda. Their nearly trillion-dollar package merely reordered the funding priorities that have existed for decades.
Really? Even Obama cult members think the 335 million dollars for condoms and other such foolishness to "stimulate" (no pun intended) the economy was over the top?
Oh, and before I forget, how about the rigs the Obamas left the White House in yesterday?
Was it really necessary to walk the gauntlet with sweatpants, sweatshirts, jeans, no socks? They looked like they just all rolled out of bed.
It reminded me of a song my mother used to sing about being unkempt:
Oh, you dirty rotten pig, does your mother know your out with your hands in your pocket and your shirttail out?
Have some dignity for the position you hold. Save the jeans and sweatpants for private moments.
Here's another golden rule when you occupy the highest position in the free world: Don't open the front door in your bathrobe with rollers in your hair.
Maybe we should gather a list and send it to the Harvard Hillbillies.
I digress.
Back to Joan.
The results of a CBS poll released last week show that Republicans who are advocating an increase in the proportion of tax cuts in the stimulus bill are winning the argument. Asked whether higher government spending or tax cuts for business would be more effective in ending the recession, 59 percent chose tax cuts, while only 22 percent chose government spending. While 51 percent of those polled said they back the concept behind Obama's stimulus package, support for Obama's plan has fallen 12 points since January.
Like that joke going around:
"This year, taxpayers will receive an Economic Stimulus Payment.
This is a very exciting new program that I will explain using the Q
and A format:
Q. What is an Economic Stimulus Payment?
A. It is money that the federal government will send to taxpayers.
Q. Where will the government get this money?
A. From taxpayers.
Q. So the government is giving me back my own money?
A. Only a smidgen.
Q. What is the purpose of this payment?
A. The plan is that you will use the money to purchase a
high-definition TV set, thus stimulating the economy.
Q. But isn't that stimulating the economy of China ?
A. Shut up.
A Hearty Ha-Har.
People are looking at the invoice of the stimulus and asking who's gonna pay for this?
OOOoooops, I AM! When you start looking at what you're paying for, Obama is just another shiester.
He's a slick one.
