Tick tock tick tock...

Hoooo-kay. Down about another hundred today and President Obama's barely had a thing to say about the economy in days, since he compared it to a daily tracking poll. He's been too busy telling the world the Taliban is kicking our cans and revving up the market for unborn fetus cells.

Prior to his election, I predicted Obama would be another Jimmy Carter. Turns out I was being unfair to President Carter. I picked the wrong peanut guy. I should have said Obama would be like the head of that peanut company that's spreading salmonella or plague or whatever all over. But that hadn't happened yet either, so that would have taken a double prophecy. I'm not that good. In fact I'm not good at all but anybody with eyes to see could spot him as a quack if they'd only look.

The Obama apologists, when they're not bashing Rush Limbaugh or belittling those who dare call socialism socialism, like to invoke the excuse that Obama inherited this mess. Obama himself likes to invoke that excuse quite often. But he voted for TARP, and I seem to remember that he was brought in with McCain by President Bush to discuss it all real time before it even went down. That would have been an excellent opportunity for either candidate to stand up and say "No Way", but neither did. So one's not worse or better than the other. But we certainly got one that real time today does not understand at all that it's the economy, stupid.

I hear a clock ticking. It's getting louder and louder. There's only so long before even Democrats realize they've got a real dunderhead in the White House. The people who have loved him so well are going to turn on this President, and turn hard. There's only so much incompetence that even American Idol watchers and Democrats can put up with before it's no longer amusing.
