Lead From Behind
One thing the president is not taking credit for these days is his “lead from behind policy” in Libya. Here’s a column by the Richard Cohen in the Washington Post on the subject.
Incomplete
The president gave himself an incomplete grade for his first term. Bill Clinton excused him, saying that no one, not even The Big Dog himself, could have fixed the economy. Obama never actually uttered the words “economic malaise”, but then again, neither did Jimmy Carter.
For those not down with Carter era Sweat Hog culture, here’s a link to Welcome Back Kotter.
Clinton Speech
The fact checkers say the president is not gutting welfare reform. Mickey Kaus says otherwise.
Bill Clinton will place the name of his nemesis in nomination for four more years on Wednesday night.
Before The Fall
The president is threatening that there’s more where the auto bail-out came from.
Meanwhile a Congressional Budget Office report says a walk off the fiscal cliff will plunge the economy back into recession.
Open Book
During his surprise press conference Monday, the president defended his campaign tactics by again calling for Romney to release his tax returns. He said, “if you want to be president… your life’s an open book when it comes to things like your finances”.
He also accused Romney of “just making stuff up” in an ad that accuses Obama is gutting welfare reform.
