The Difference Between Style and Substance
November 19th 2008 12:44
Now that the election is over and B.O. is feeling confident that he's unstoppable, he's permitting a little trickle of honesty to leak out from time to time. The trickles are couched in toothy smiles and silky words, of course, and need to be ferreted out.
I didn't watch the 60 Minutes interview with B.O., having heard all the trash-talking and lies I could stomach during the campaign. According to Jonah Goldberg, though, there was a trickle of truth that anyone with a brain should find very disturbing. B.O. admitted he didn't have any actual policies in mind beyond a display of false confidence. He intends to "experiment" with the government and "appear" confident, no matter how bad his ideas damage us. Isn't that just ducky, folks? While we're going under, being taxed to death, and watching our Constitution erased, he'll look confident and we should all be happy. Well, it worked for FDR, so he intends to give it a try. Boy, some "hope and change", huh?
Has anyone else noticed that his new cabinet is being made up of political hacks that have yet to be right about anything? They all look like Joe Biden when it comes to their political positions... contortionists who can literally turn themselves inside out to avoid answering a simple question. People who were neck deep in Fanny Mae and Freddy Mac (to their gain and our loss) are on his short list for cabinet positions. The guy who arranged the pardon for white-collar criminal Mark Rich (after a generous donation from Rich's ex-wife) may be the new Attorney General. Jamie Gorelick who signed the order that prevented the FBI and CIA from sharing information (making 9/11 much easier for the terrorists to accomplish) and then was in charge of the 9/11 Comission so she could exhonerate herself and the Clinton regime of their own culpability. Hillary Clinton, her "experience" goes without saying, doesn't it? Since raising taxes has never saved the economy before, he proudly plans to try it again, this time with "confidence" of course. That should make everything just fine, right?
You folks who were foolish enough to vote for Mr. Style will soon be wishing there was a little substance to him. How does it feel to know you helped elect a man whose head is as empty as his suit?
