Obama Will Negotiate--With Putin, But Not With the Speaker of the House
Yeah, I know: "I know Vladimir Putin; the man who has propped up the Assad regime through arms sales has been a friend of this Nobel Peace Prize winner. And John Boehner is no Putin. For one thing, Boehner has orange skin..." Obama is a spendaholic; he's got a 12-point plan for dealing with it. The first step is to restore Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House, the second step is to nominate a knee-jerk money printer like Janet Yellen to replace "Helicopter Ben" at the Federal Reserve,...

I think that there is nothing a true-believer progressive in the face of decades of failed progressive programs, multiple high-casualty wars, etc. It takes a certain madness to pile up in new debt nearly 3 years of federal revenue, do nothing about another $80T in unfunded liabilities but propose a new federal entitlement in the midst of a slow-growth, jobless recovery. I think what's particularly obnoxious is his propensity to spout off nonsensical pretentious rhetoric and co-opt terms like "fair", "balanced", etc. in a totally partisan context.
