So many crises, so little time

Fri., March 27, 2009

The Spokesman-Review

When the shameful and ridiculous “stimulus bill” was being rushed forward, Barack Obama said that without it, our economic problems “could turn a crisis into a catastrophe.”

With his chicken-little-sky-is-falling approach to the bill he has since admitted that there wasn’t enough time, what with the near catastrophic crisis and all, to read the entire bill. Had he been responsible (or experienced) enough to read the bill, he would have seen that the AIG bonuses were included in the bill.

Now, he feigns outrage that the bonuses were doled out. I guess it’s understandable, though, what with all the People magazine covers to pose for, NCAA bracket picks to post and “Tonight Shows” to appear on, Obama is such a busy celebrity, I mean president.
