Obama gave a speech yesterday. Word has it (I didn’t watch or listen) he discussed the economy in no uncertain terms.<\/p>\n
Let me guess though, I’ll bet he used the words “crisis” numerous times; I’ll bet he furrowed his eyebrows real good like and probably had a real ominous look on his face too.<\/p>\n
Were ya scared<\/em>?<\/p>\n Did he make you think you need <\/em>him to save you? …that this crisis is too severe for you to solve it on your own? Did he speak of sweeping<\/em>, decisive<\/em>, massive <\/em>and immediate <\/em>action being required on the part of the federal government? Did you need a hug? A big government hug?<\/p>\n These days<\/a> it seems like it is our patriotic duty to consume more. And if we don’t choose to spend more money ourselves, the government will do it for us.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Obama is building his case: You need<\/em> big government. You need<\/em> guys like him; guys that are smarter than you cuz they read more books, went to better schools and have more letters after their name. Guys that aren’t afraid to take massive, decisive action; to write big<\/em> checks with someone else’s money.<\/p>\n These problems, despite being undeniably caused by liberal policies in the first place, must be solved by the government. The government must “create” three million “jobs.” The government is the answer, no matter what the question, when you’re a liberal.<\/p>\n Liberals can’t do anything if it doesn’t justify government’s growth and influence in our lives.<\/p>\n But wait a minute. Isn’t it excessive spending that got us into this mess in the first place? Spending more now seems like drinking Scotch to cure a hangover.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n But what if the right thing to do right now is nothing?<\/p>\n
