In yet another demonstration of that change for which the world has been waiting, the Obama administration continues on its quest for enemies at whom they can kick sand, looking for all the world like a rather grotesque and very long-in-the-tooth group of enfant terribles. I guess they figure that if they can fling enough of…anything…in the air, it will distract us from seeing they’ve resoundingly succeeded in rising above their level of incompetence.
With an attention span more often seen in very small children, the ineffective flailings against Rush Limbaugh are now being set aside in favor of what they see as perhaps as softer target: House Minority Whip Eric Cantor. In what is little more than a fluffy campaign piece in the Washington Post opinion section last week, President Obama’s campaign manager, David Plouffe, fulfills his job responsibilities by calling him the “new Republican quarterback” .
The non-profit, Americans United for Change, (an organization that counts labor unions and liberal groups such as Moveon.org among its PAC coalition), is bankrolling television commercials against saying “no” to the administration’s spendthrift ways. Of course, such action begs the question: are these ads considered charitable, educational, or recreational*?
Oh, wait. They promote social welfare.
