If there’s nothing more annoying than a President that is never forced to answer a single tough question in 6 years of public service, it’s a President who then goes out and badmouths those few conservatives in Congress who have the guts to say, “Which part of your Stimulus is actually going to stimulate the economy?” Michelle Malkin has some commentary here, comparing Obama to Howard Dean. I almost wonder if he ends up sounding more like Hugo Chavez than Howard Dean. I didn’t hear Obama come unglued, he simply has no tolerance for any viewpoint that differs from his. This is exactly what he has been taught in his years of discipleship to the likes of William Ayers and Rev. Jeremiah Wright, filled with sheer hatred and intolerance that would label many a conservative a fascist.

The other annoying part is the Invertebrate Branch of the Republican Party, that immediately slogs over to Harry Reid and Obama and looks for ways to pad their own pockets at the expense of the American people. We had one chance of keeping this horrible piece of legislation from becoming a stain on future generations, but unfortunately a few selfish weasels named Specter, Snowe, and Collins have to spoil the applecart.  This is going to be a quick 3 days in politics, followed by a long 40 years of rebuilding this economy from the serious trough this bill will create.

And finally, Obama, in his infinite wisdom (which we all know is infinite because Katie Couric and Chris Matthews have done the math), never has to speak in front of a serious Press room. He gets away with talking about how these tax-cut policies have created this economy. NO, I don’t think so buddy, and if they actually would let me in the room with you, I’d call you on it.

I can tell you in one sentence the reasons for this economy to have hit the skids: We expect to get everything for nothing. From a family that makes $30,000 buying a $200,000 home to a person who joins a union to make $60 an hour for a $20 an hour job, we’ve outpriced ourselves. This has little to do with Republican or Democrat, rich or poor. Each of us has a chance to purchase American made goods, but none of us want to take the chance that our purchase would have the same “American craftsmanship” we put into our own vocation. Until this country has a change in ideal, a return to morals, a shift in work ethic, ingenuity, and pride in one’s own output, we’re going to continue to spiral out of control.

And I’m willing to bet that this President’s words will not facilitate this renaissance. That’s what’s needed, not a bunch of government-funded jobs.
