Pres BO landed home last night.
By any account, it was a worthless trip.
It changed little. It persuaded no one.
China and India are going full speed ahead on job creation. They are more than happy to take all of our factories, specially all of the ones that we are driving out of the country with over-regulation and high taxes.
How are you going to deal with climate change if China and India do not play along?
Bill Katz has a post on the trip: OBAMA RETURNS
BO comes home to a growing skepticism.
His economic stimulus is in deep trouble. The public is growing and more skeptical of Pres BO's expansion of the federal government.
Professor Robert Samuelson has a great post today: The Consequences of Big Government!
How are we going to pay for all of these programs?
Tax the rich?
Pres BO's "cap and trade" proposal is going nowhere, specially among Dems running for re-election in 2010.
Health care is starting to look like GITMO.
Remember how easy it was close to say "close GITMO"?
How easy is it? Not at all!
Remember how easy it was to say that a Dem president and Congress would fix health care?
It was easy until someone calculated the cost!
Professor VD Hanson nails it: Growing Worries about Our Pied Piper
"All Americans like to be liked — and like to think they are confident enough to admit mistakes.
But Obama is beginning to be predictable, boring even, in his once sincere, but now serial apologies about America’s past and present — to almost everyone from Latin Americans and Europeans to Turks and Muslims in general.
And why are we more worried about the feelings of a hostile Ahmadinejad than of a friendly Maliki or Netanyahu?"
