Un B Lievable

This article from the Washington Post is just too much to take. The praise heaped on Pres. Obama and his "leadership" to get the stimulus bill passed is just amazing. Not only does the article declare the passage of the bill one of the greatest victories for any president, let alone a president in office a mere three weeks, but it also explains why Pres. Obama has made such mistakes picking cabinet members and staff - he is just so focused on this stimulus bill. Passage of the stimulus bill is apparently already enough to declare that, according to Speaker Pelosi, "The American people know, and historians are judging, that this is one remarkable president." Really? Passage of the biggest spending bill in the history of the U.S., which other news sources are declaring a disaster that could also spark a trade war, is already enough for history to declare this one of the greatest presidential victories ever? And what was the achievement? Pres. Obama convinced an overwhelming majority of Democrats in both houses of Congress, and a trio of "Republicans," to spend incredible amounts of money? That sounds like convincing Michael Moore he wants to eat another dozen donuts.

I am not sure I can stomach four years of this adoration, even worship.
