“STEEP CUTS” IN THE OBAMA BUDGET? Even the left is starting to notice it’s a sham. “Obama’s game is transparent, isn’t it? He is playing a game of chicken. He puts forward a series of proposals that he knows are more or less insane; but he also believes that Republicans will come to his rescue.”

UPDATE: Reader C.J. Burch is unimpressed: “He’s promised so much and hasn’t delivered any of it. Not on Iraq or Afghanistan or Guantanamo not with the stimulus, not with any thing. And as the Unions begin to notice he can’t deliver ( and delivering what they need is a fiscal impossibility) it’s going to get worse for him. Unfortunately he’s such a clown he may take the country down the tubes as well. The man has the depth of a sheet of paper.”
