Things Turn Dicey

What was the money quote that seems to define this administration? - Something about never letting a crisis go to waste? Sounds like these guys are quite happy when things turn dicey. It gives the president another chance to get out there and blame Bush. Bush, after all, was the one who put the security apparatus that failed in place. Obama had nothing to do with it, it seems. This alone could easily give POTUS a month of talking points about 'hope and change' to distract from the poisoned pill health care bill (which will now sneak through under the radar). It will kill health care and the economy to boot, just as sure as the would-be bomber’s ex-Guantanamo denizen handlers fully expected to bring down that plane over Detroit. Only, the bomber was a kid with a serious attack of nerves. He probably peed in his pants which was likely the only thing that kept the explosives from going off.

Obama is no kid. He's not stupid. If he looks stupid to you, know that it's an act. Barack Hussein Obama is a committed ideologue. By now we should all know what his ideology is. He knows he must first break the back of this country in order to then build it up into what he has in mind. America is diminished, but survives yet. It survives despite the efforts of Obama and the Left. They can be expected to keep hammering away at it as long as they’re able: that Interpol thing, healthcare, cap and trade, immigration, spending, more spending - even the mishandling of the terrorist threat.

I attended a pre-New Year's Eve breakfast in my neighborhood yesterday. There were cucumber sandwiches, (German) Christmas Stollen, and English Breakfast Tea, quietly brewing in a pot wrapped in a cozy. I remember the liberal ladies asking me, "You don't mean Obama...?" eyes open wide, never finishing the question. It's too disturbing even to contemplate. I understood what was not being said, and did not object when they abruptly changed the subject.
