It’s easier to be in opposition than in power, as Barack Obama and his team of geniuses are finding out this week. Heaping scorn on Bush and Halliburton was a great strategy for getting elected; not so much for running a country. It turns out that the economy, not Gitmo or warrantless wiretapping, is The Big Issue.
Alas, Democrats don’t have a clue about economics. Every word they speak and every bill they pass just reminds all the smart people to take whatever money they have left and bury it in the back yard until the grown-ups return to Washington. Fortunately, the editors of the Wall Street Journal are able to explain things (read it here), in language even Democrats can understand.

Did the Messiah and his disciples skip economics 101 in college? The economy is in free fall and their answer to right the ship is to give goodies to the public employee unions, impose cap and trade which means higher energy prices and raise taxes on the very people who produce and hire people. But I take heart knowing that at least those who purchased houses with no money down with a liar loan will be rescued.
