Reinventing Obama

At House Republican Retreat the President said - among many, many thing:

The last thing I will say, though -- let me say this about health care and  the health care debate, because I think it also bears on a whole lot of  other issues. If you look at the package that we've presented -- and there's  some stray cats and dogs that got in there that we were eliminating, we were  in the process of eliminating. For example, we said from the start that it  was going to be important for us to be consistent in saying to people if you can have your -- if you want to keep the health insurance you got, you can  keep it, that you're not going to have anybody getting in between you and your doctor in your decision making. And I think that some of the provisions that got snuck in might have violated that pledge.

Hm. Interesting.

The President, as if he has time, now wants to take on the BCS.

I know the BCS makes for great sport debating down south, but at this point he's the most omnipotent Prez ever! No?

And then there's this whole KSM being tried in NYC type of thing. OMG! Has anyone caught the odd comments coming from those who defend this decision? Notably that they're convinced he'll be convicted.

So much for the presumption of innocence. Isn't this, like, weird to say? I thought these dudes were about maintaining the integrity of the law.

Remember the line on Seinfeld, "sex to save the friendship?"

That's the feeling I get with politicians who think "spend to save the economy."

Is this the best we can come up with in North America? Spend, tax and expand the government?

There has to be a better way.

The math continues to elude me:

Nor are the Obama deficits a temporary result of the recession. Despite a modest recovery, the 2010 budget deficit will be higher than the 2009 deficit. Nearly 42 cents of each dollar Washington spends will be borrowed.

But. He has an out on all this. After all, he's the "I didn't do it!" president.
