WSJ: The Presidential Divider

WALL STREET JOURNAL/REVIEW & OUTLOOK, 4/14/2011 by Joseph Rago and Steve Moore - Obama's toxic speech and even worse plan for deficits and debt.

Did someone move the 2012 election to June 1? We ask because President Obama's extraordinary response to Paul Ryan's budget yesterday—with its blistering partisanship and multiple distortions—was the kind Presidents usually outsource to some junior lieutenant.

It's a sign that the election did in fact change the debate in Washington from how much we should spend to how much spending we should cut." Read more at WSJ... Read More......

WASHINGTON POST, 2/18/2011 by Michael Gerson (Hat tip: John H. Detweiler) - President Obama's 2012 budget is the numerical embodiment of his State of the Union address - both being systematic distractions from the main, current tasks of governing. His plan includes, according to Yuval Levin, editor of National Affairs, "no entitlement reform, no tax reform, no significant spending reform, indeed no meaningful change of direction of any sort."
