It’s on his shoulders now
Bookworm on Feb 10 2009 at 9:12 pm | Filed under: Uncategorized
Believe it or not, I have been trying to write the following two sentences for six hours now. So goes my day.
All I’ve been trying to say today is that Obama has spent time whining for a while now about the fact that nothing he’s dealing with his is fault — it’s all someone else’s fault. (You’ll hear a lot of this whine over the next four years, since it’s the classic narcissist complaint. They’re famous for finger pointing.)
Given that the Senate now passed the stimulus bill that he’s been stumping for so energetically, if (when) it fails, no matter how frantically he points fingers, this one is going to be all his. He’s put himself on the line here, guaranteeing that this is the magic economic bullet. He’s also made it clear that the Republicans have nothing to do with it. Obama owns this sickly, bloated baby.

Unfortunately, if the economy recovers in spite of the bill, it will look like it WAS the bill.
We are well and truly stuck.
Book, I wish I could as hopeful about this as you, but I think we’ve pretty much reached the end of the road when it comes to an electorate with any sort of memory, let alone an ability to think rationally.
The MSM will make sure that George Bush remains the scapegoat for a couple of years to come, which will bring us to the 2010 elections. By that time “stimulus” money will kick in, strewing pork over crucial voting districts, and the people there will be ever so grateful to the Democrats for making life marginally better.
This is becoming like Burroughs’s “Naked Lunch,” where the guy is on an extended drug high where there’s no way he’s ever going to come down or back. We just don’t have any way to get through to him. The MSM will continue to lie and chances are the Fairness Doctrine will be imposed on America in some form by then. We won’t have any effective means to push back, and given the hundreds of examples on just this site alone of the obstinate vacuousness of leftist reasoning, what will we really be able to do?
I think it’s time to begin staying close to the armed forces and all of the freewheeling Texican-type people out there who will not go quietly. I will not surrender my freedom or this beautiful country to grotesques like Nancy Pelosi, or Barney Rectum, or Michelle Obama. If it takes a second civil war to set things right, it is not something that we conservatives will have brought on.
(Forgive me for the forlorness of this statement, but I am genuinely worried that this wonderful creation, the United States of America, is in mortal danger. The people who hate her are beneath my contempt, but they now hold the power, not I.)
“Obama owns this sickly, bloated baby.”
Unfortunately, it is we, our children and grandchildren that own the consequences.
