Obama believes his own schtick as well (and so far, it seems you believe his
schtick). The only reason some people are poor is because the rich have too
much. If we just took some of that stuff from the rich, there would be plenty
to give to the poor, the old 'divide up the pie' ploy. History and reality
firmly remind us that this is not true. Once you start sticking your finger in
to someone else's pie, they stop baking pies.
All jibbing aside (for this post only) and being straight for once, set aside
all the 'yes we can' and 'change the changes' and 'he's a decent man' and all
that empty rhetoric. What is Obama going to do? From what we've seen so far
it is a rehash of the worst of the New Deal and the Great Society.
That is, by Bush (and ilk) facilitating the worst of the greedy instintcs of
the American people, he has delivered us an almighty right hand blow with his
fist of iron. Now, Obama facilitating all the worst of our dependent and
slothful instincts, is winding up to give us an almighty left hand blow with his
fist of steel.
The only bright spot in this is that as the Obama administration undwinds,
perhaps we sill at long last look up from our punch drunk haze and say with
bloodied lips, "Enough of this!" and quit this left-right destructive punching
we've experienced our entire lifetimes.
