Baby Talk
Obama has warned that, if he is defeated, Republicans will leave you “on your own“. This is a bad thing? It is if you’r building the Nanny State.
Speaking of Change, last Thursday was Diaper Need Awareness Day in the state of Connecticut. It was a day for the diaper lobby to call attention to the needs of the diaper disadvantaged. The holiday prompted Mark Steyn to recall that the government already provides “adult baby” Stanley Thornton Jr. with income disability checks so he can wear a giant diaper, while laying around in a giant crib, under the attention of a buxom nanny. Apparently there are actual adults whose fetish for pooping their pants is now a federally recognized disability. Steyn considers this “almost too poignant an emblem of the republic at twilight”.
As usual, Homeland Security has been far ahead of the curve on this issue.
Spoils of War
In a news dump Friday a week ago, the president abandoned a big chunk of his health care plan. Last Friday he abandoned Iraq. Only this time it really was Bush’s fault. Bush negotiated the withdrawal late in his administration. Obama tried to extend the Status of Forces agreement to allow 3,000 troops to to remain, but couldn’t get an Iraqi agreement on immunity from criminal prosecution for killing people and breaking things. So, he claimed credit for fulfilling a campaign pledge, took his army, and went home.
The Don Rickles Administration
The Heckler in Chief has gone from insulting the Supreme Court and Paul Ryan, to all the Republicans in Congress. Here’s Obama. And here’s Biden.
Update: Here’s a Michelle Malkin column about Biden’s thuggish behavior toward journalists in this case and others.
One Percent Pander
In an ABC interview with Jake Tapper last night, Obama reached out to the Occupy Wall Street crowd and called for a more “egalitarian” society.
No word yet on a bail-out for Wall Street’s investment in Obama.
Update: It turns out the president is still raking The Street.
Odd Job
On the other hand, Obama’s dead jobs bill may have been dreamed up as a club to use on the Republicans who were bound to kill it.
