Among the excellent commentary on the latest episode in the president’s televised series of meltdowns, this observation by William Kristol in The Weekly Standard stood out, under the apt title “Baby Talk”:
I was struck by these sentences in President Obama’s speech:
Now, what makes today’s stalemate so dangerous is that it has been tied to something known as the debt ceiling – a term that most people outside of Washington have probably never heard of before.
Understand – raising the debt ceiling does not allow Congress to spend more money. It simply gives our country the ability to pay the bills that Congress has already racked up.
Consider the condescension implicit in the president’s statement—“a term that most people outside of Washington have probably never heard of before.” These “people outside of Washington” are not little children being lectured on an obscure subject by a worldly adult. These people outside Washington are … citizens…
It would be nice to have a president who spoke candidly to his fellow citizens as adults.
No, Barky Dear, what makes today’s stalemate dangerous is that the president of the US is an unadulterated nincompoop, a demagogue and a pathological liar.
Q: Barky Dear, what would you call a daddy who wanted to spend 53 billion dollars on electric trains when the family is broke?
A: Mr. President.
He’s got a right to assume that Americans are babies and speak condescendingly to them. The majority voted for him.
Ouch! You have a (very sharp) point.
That phrase in the speech was directed at his supporters, you know, cretins, leftists, imbeciles, and other mentally deficient people. Almost everybody else that has ever had a credit card understands this crisis.
