Facts are stubborn things - Guy Benson gives a point-by-point response to Obama's blather today: "Obama's worst speech yet."
Extra - Yuval Levin: "Obama's America." That would be the America where doing anything to rein in unprecedented government spending and trillion-dollar deficits is heartless social Darwinism. Oh my.
More - Hey isn't Paul Ryan's budget awful? WSJ: "The worst economic recovery in history."
And this - Opinion Journal: "If there's a Laffer Curve for Presidential invective—some point at which dishonest political abuse yields diminishing returns—the White House political team must not think their boss has hit it. Even in this hyperpartisan age, President Obama's speech to the Associated Press yesterday was a parody of the form. This was a diatribe that managed to invoke "Social Darwinism" and "a Trojan Horse" in the same paragraph, amid the other high crimes that Mr. Obama says Paul Ryan wants to commit."
After you're done celebrating the reheated Ryan budget, tell us again how Obamacare needs to die because it's "hugely unpopular with the voters."
ReplyDeleteIt needs to die because it's unconstitutional. That Americans recognize this defect is just a bonus.
ReplyDeleteWe need to pass Paul Ryan's budget so we can find out whether it works.
ReplyDeleteOr any budget, just for a change.
ReplyDeleteThis Twitter message says it all:
ReplyDelete"Aww, President Obama got Mitt Romney a present - a beautiful Paul Ryan budget anvil necklace. That's sweet."
What's that other unpopular thing that Obama never talks about?
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, his record.
his record
ReplyDeleteIt's going to be a double album.
Why oh why is Obama so silent about mentioning Osama bin Who Now? Or saving the auto something or other? Or averting another Great Dewhatever? Or drawing down the Afghan whoozamacallit?
Great record, and you can dance on your opponents' backs to it!
Thank Allah that Paul Ryan produced a budget: otherwise what would Obama talk about?
ReplyDeleteHow the incompetent Republicans don't have a budget?
ReplyDeleteThe deficit-cutting Ryan budget would increase the deficit. It promises huge savings from unspecified future "loophole closings" which Ryan has repeatedly declined to identify. And it promises to eventually cut the entire federal budget to a smaller percentage of GDP than what the Republicans intend to earmark just for defense spending.
ReplyDeleteBut the budget is printed on paper, so it exists and it's oh so very serious!
To be clear, Paul Ryan's garbage math in no way absolves Barack Obama and the Dems for their failure to produce a budget. But Ryan hasn't done it, either.
ReplyDeleteMan, that Ryan fellow is catching all kinds of hell for putting out a budget.
ReplyDeleteThe lesson here: never put out a budget.
"Hey, Harry, are you going to vote for MY budget?" - Obama
ReplyDelete"Well, there's going to be a vote." - Reid
Man, that Ryan fellow is catching all kinds of hell for putting out a budget.
ReplyDeleteThe lesson here: never put out a budget.
The lesson is, if you put out Underpants Gnomes math and call it a budget, don't act so shocked and tushy-sore when people question your credentials as the most serious fiscal thinker of the age.
