Whopper of the speech

In Barack Obama's speech before the joint session of Congress the other night, the quote that was easily the most absurd of the night was this little ditty:

"My budget does not attempt to solve every problem or address every issue. It reflects the stark reality of what we've inherited - a trillion dollar deficit, a financial crisis, and a costly recession."

Yes, that can be such a bother to inherit a trillion dollar deficit, Mr. President. Say, what is your proposal to address this "stark reality"? Oh yeah, it is to saddle us with yet another trillion-dollar deficit, and according to the spending you plan for the future, your are just getting warmed up.

As this train-wreck of an administration continues its swath, I am tempted to chuck my sign-off of "Good Day to You, Sir" and go with "We Are So Screwed" instead.

Good Day to You, Sir

The President does not know what he is doing. He is in over his head. Why should any budget attempt to "solve every problem"?

And he wants to spend money on "something called volcano monitoring"!

Reagan told us that we can't tax our way to prosperity, while Obama is telling us we can tax and spend our way to prosperity.

Are you a betting man? If so, want to place odds on which man was right?
