Remember this? It gives a general sense of what Comrade Obama is doing to our future. But to be accurate, as Hot Air points out, we’re going to need a bigger graph. To quote Robert J. Samuelson: From 2010 to……

Excuse me. I need to take my happy pills before the urge to blow off my head becomes too great.

Other men for their times would include Josef Stalin, Napoleon Bonaparte, Vlad the Impaler, and the Emperor Caligula.

Do not forget Adolf and Il Duce.

Someone at Hotair needs to learn how to convert those crappy MS-Word quotes into Web-friendly quotes.

Yes indeedy.

What I want is health care reform with responsibility.

And I’m tired of the ridiculous extremes on this issue.

Just do it people.

Do what? Don´t you realize you are going to get an extreme solution and it won´t be from conservatives? You are barking up the wrong tree.

Do you ever go to a left-liberal blog and harangue them on how tired of extremes you are? No?

Your corrupted language notwithstanding, most consevatives actually shy away from extremes. You don´t hear us talking about “fundamental change” and “remaking” everything and we don´t speak with contempt of everything that existed before.

It´s the left that isn´t satisfied with small, incremental improvements which they have blocked in the past because it would have taken the urgency out of the issue. They want all or nothing.

Don´t worry. You are going to get an extreme solution and you will pay for it too.

Indeed.
But the future is unwritten.

This baby became obamas when he signed his massive pork bills.

He doesn’t understand enough, and, the moment he begins to, denial mechanisms (and old reflexes) take over.� He’s Scarlett O’Bama, and will worry about it tomorrow.

You don’t say, CK. Really good read.

Obama owns this puppy.

Well, they get what they voted for, what they deserve.

then he’ll stagger in his stylish PJs right out of office, more Hoover, Buchanan, or Carter, than Roosevelt, Lincoln, or Reagan.

That would be– Obama will be remembered as the contemporary analog of Jefferson, Jackson, and Lincoln.
A man for the times.

The past is written, Highlander. Bush’s deficits are graved in stone.
Obama is writing the future in the flux of current events.
You don’t know what will happen.
You aren’t exactly the Kwisatch Haderach, or you would have spied the results of Bush’s policies then.

“Most believe that a satisfactory future requires a return to an idealized past, a past which never in fact existed.”

But it’s gotta have right hand drive. Rare, that bird.

Show me a modern political mechanism rewarding responsibility, Ann.

The only health care reform option that doesn’t terrify me is for the “public option” to be set up as 3-4 independent nonprofits with the ability to operate in all 50 states. No permanent credit line from the Feds, no implicit or explicit government guarantee, no subsidy.

What they’re talking about now is the camel’s nose for single-payer. We can do better, if we’re to do anything at all.
