And I ran across this on American Thinker:
> My guess is that Barack Obama’s college transcripts show a “D-” in Economics and a “Withdrawal” in Western Civilization.

Well, if it was a class in Keynesian economics, Barack would have done just fine. A class in the Austrian school… not so fine.

Obama seems to think he can shove *anything* down Americans’ throats, and they’ll accept it just fine. Actually, since the leadership of the Democrat party in Congress is so far-left as well, they *all* think they can. I was just about to say that Obama, being the first “international president”, understands Europe (weak-kneed, cowardly, Statist Europe) far more than he understands most of America. He just doesn’t understand most Americans. But then I realized, Democrat leadership doesn’t understand either.

So it’s actually quite simple: Enamored of the chance to finally enact their entire Statist, leftist set of programs, they are incapable of stopping, no matter what the American people say. Like totally spoiled children in a candy store, they’re rushing from bin to bin, grabbing at the sweets and shoving them all into their greedy maws, mumbling “More! More! More!” through the massive confectionary goo they chew on.

It is looking more and more possible that Election Day, November 2010 might be a stunning day of reckoning, due to their astonishing overreach. Republicans would have done little to deserve any benefits of that day; the Democrats would simply have squandered all their political capital with Middle America in this mad, insane rush.

One can hope.

I know it won’t make a difference. But, it gives me a momentary sense that they are actually representing me and I might have some input. I am beginning to wonder, however, if that momentary lift is worth the angst, no rage, I feel when I receive their nonsensical responses.
