The American Spectator : The Spectacle Blog : Obama's Doom and Gloom

Text Size

One other note about that Obama op-ed I commented on earlier. As far as the tone goes, it's filled with doom and gloom, and lacks the optimism that oozed through his campaign rhetoric. Toward the end, he writes that if we don't pass the stimulus bill, "[o]ur nation will sink deeper into a crisis that, at some point, we may not be able to reverse." It's one thing to argue that we need to do something to jump start the economy so that it recovers sooner. But does the man who inspired millions with his message of hope really believe it's possible that the American economy could never recover from this economic crisis? Does he really think that America is so fragile that we're at a tipping point between being the world's number one economy, and some sort of third world country?

I am actually beginning to feel sorry for the "boy king"...a genial chap who is in so far in over his head as to--in two shorts weeks---have become a pathetic echo of his soaring campaign rhetoric. But, I am even sorrier for the nation.

We will never recover -- but I don't mean economically. If this sucker gets passed, we'll never recover from the socialism it'll entrench in our system. Gads.
