Anything goes

Today, President Obama hosted "dozens of leaders" in a brainstorming session to come up with solutions for "solving" this current fiscal crisis.

Which for me, begs the question: what the hell have you and your advisers been doing for the last month, Mr. President? You mean to tell me your team couldn't think of anything? This inspires a ton of confidence.

Also of note: these "leaders" were generally members of Congress or "community leaders"--In other words, the group that passed this pork bill and the group directly benefiting from it. Great. I'm sure they'll have a lot of new and innovative ideas.

Congratulations, America. You wanted youth and excitement and you're going to get it. You voted for the teenager without a lick of experience or a ghost of a clue what he's doing, and now we all get to suffer for your stupidity.

I for one am sick and tired of this blather about how "smart" the American people are. It appears at the moment that at least 52% voters in this country are damned naive and stupid. They bought a lot of idealistic sounding fluff over a boring acerbic curmudgeon with a ton of experience, and it looks like my great grandchildren will be picking up the bill.

Your going to blame this administration for running up a tab? The one that just left did a pretty good job with that. Do you think McCain would be doing anything significantly different? Maybe less "pork" but tax cuts alone aren't going to solve this problem. Tax cuts without a reduction in spending were what got us into this mess in the first place. Americans are naive and stupid to buy into a message of idealism? It's rings smarter to me to elect someone who uses complete sentences.
