It is becoming clear that the Obama glow is starting to diminish. This is not because of something that happened this week or last. It is a growing recognition that the Obama administration is guilty of the worst kind of intellectual dishonesty as epitomized by the gross and corrupt stimulus bill. The urgent screams that this bloated and misdirected bill had to be passed Right Now or the world would come to an end have been shown to be nothing but the worst kind of manipulation. More and more people are recognizing that the real urgency for the administration was that if the people had had a few days to find out what was in the bill they would have certainly rejected it. Nearly a trillion dollars was wasted with less deliberation than most people would give to a home appliance purchase. This same manipulation was used to pass the Crap and Tax bill in the House and now they are going for the “three times is a charm” with the Nationalize and Destroy Healthcare bill. The administration is in a race against the clock.
