What you have written here is absolutely right.

A less baldfaced case of irresponsibility, but nevertheless real, the almost daily fear mongering as to the awful state of the economy coming from the new President. Pessimism seems to come naturally to him, any optimism, more forced. Plus, it’s characteristic of those favoring socialism to de-emphasize the power of individual human endeavor.

In Obama’s contradictory statements between saying only the federal government can bail us out of this mess and, then, turning around and paying verbal homage to the power of the “private sector”, he sounds a bit uncertain as to how to proceed.

My instincts tell me he’s in the first camp, bigger & bigger & BIGGER government instrusion into all aspects of American life.
