The Big Boss

The One is now telling us to pass the Porkulus Bill or else! Or else what? Opposition is "decried as "inexcusable and irresponsible" ". Oh. Finally his coup de gras his penultimate method for convincing all to support this stinking heap of Democrat pork, he say "I won".

As Michelle Malkin says...Boo Frickin Who. Welcome to the big leagues sport.

America needs a leader, not a whiner. The President is supposed to seek out support and represent all. In the One we have a partisan hack who thinks he;'s still campaigning. That's right Goober, you won, now lead. Convince me of the merits of your little porkfest. Tell me how it will benefit me, us, them, hell, anyone.

I teach leadership. We work with ten year olds that watch videos and participate in games to learn about leadership. It is a learned trait. One of the first videos illustrates the leadership style of the "Big Boss". He the guys that shouts and orders and directs everyone. The course segment goes on to show how ineffective and self limiting this style is. The One is being the Big Boss. Maybe he never saw the video growing up....in Kenya.

Their is a lack of style and hardly any substance. Think spoiled brat. Flailing is the word. Lashing out. The Dem's continue to blame Bush. Last time I checked, he was in Texas.

Everything is a crisis. Victor Davis Hanson calls it "The Apocalyptic Style".

Let me get this straight: We borrowed and spent too much under Bush, so we must borrow and spend even more under Obama to rectify things? We rushed to do the fall bailout and now rue the waste and haste, so naturally we should hastily rush to do this even bigger stimulus? And we are not just losing jobs, but 500 MILLION per month! And this from someone who recently declared that she was SAVING THE PLANET—all 6 billion plus.

Charles Krauthammer writes about the "The Fierce Urgency of Pork".

"A failure to act, and act now, will turn crisis into a catastrophe."
-- President Obama, Feb. 4.
Catastrophe, mind you. So much for the president who in his inaugural address two weeks earlier declared "we have chosen hope over fear." Until, that is, you need fear to pass a bill.

Yes, all is not well with the Hopey/Changey crowd. Krauthammer continues:

It's the essential fraud of rushing through a bill in which the normal rules (committee hearings, finding revenue to pay for the programs) are suspended on the grounds that a national emergency requires an immediate job-creating stimulus -- and then throwing into it hundreds of billions that have nothing to do with stimulus, that Congress's own budget office says won't be spent until 2011 and beyond, and that are little more than the back-scratching, special-interest, lobby-driven parochialism that Obama came to Washington to abolish. He said.

Not just to abolish but to create something new -- a new politics where the moneyed pork-barreling and corrupt logrolling of the past would give way to a bottom-up, grass-roots participatory democracy. That is what made Obama so dazzling and new. Turns out the "fierce urgency of now" includes $150 million for livestock (and honeybee and farm-raised fish) insurance.

The Age of Obama begins with perhaps the greatest frenzy of old-politics influence peddling ever seen in Washington. By the time the stimulus bill reached the Senate, reports the Wall Street Journal, pharmaceutical and high-tech companies were lobbying furiously for a new plan to repatriate overseas profits that would yield major tax savings. California wine growers and Florida citrus producers were fighting to change a single phrase in one provision. Substituting "planted" for "ready to market" would mean a windfall garnered from a new "bonus depreciation" incentive.

So suck it up Mr. President. Because with all your whining and complaining, your gonna get your bill. The votes are there and the age of the One is here.

God help us.
