Change

The biggest river of horses#!t yet to come out of the Electee’s blowhole was heard last night during his “We have to pass the pork and create an irreversible catastrophe NOW NOW NOW to prevent an irreversible catastrophe!” speech.

Among the notable (notorious?) moments:

· He bragged about getting Congress to produce a package with no pork, yet boasted it will do good things for a Hoosier highway and a downtown overpass, just the kind of local projects lawmakers lard into big spending bills.
· He passed over the introduction in the bill of a national health care records database and administration, something that has been shouted down by constituents every time it has been introduced on its own. So why slip it in the back door now?
· He claimed that only government could fix the situation, neglecting to mention that government was the cause. He fails to understand that government is a disease masquerading as its own cure.
· He continued to attempt to blame the problems on the conservative ideas utilized under the Bush administration. Except nothing conservative was ever done under Bush. If socialism didn;’t work under Bush, why would more of it work now?
· He claimed to have no pork in the bill. While there are no "earmarks," as they are usually defined, inserted by lawmakers in the bill, some of the projects bear the prime characteristics of pork - tailored to benefit specific interests or to have thinly disguised links to local projects. So we didn’t pork it up with additions, we drafted the pork in from the start? Change you can believe in.

The most snort-worthy, guffaw-inducing moment came when he intoned in Buddhist-type incantations: big pause - “No one is above the law” – big pause (again waiting for nonexistent response, like at the inauguration – even the liberal press corps couldn’t bite on this red herring). The man who appointed the Cabinet of Criminals and Clowns stated that no one was above the law? Puhhhleeze.

So here we go down another rabbit hole – activity is more important than effectiveness. Big gummint got all de answers. And while we are at it, we will increase the key parts of totalitarian subjugation: education, medical records and care, taxes, redistribution of income, and gummint control of industry. If we hadn’t seen this before in Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, Germany, and Cambodia, you would almost think there was a plan.

Change. You’d better believe it. Or else.
