Oh, let’s not always see the same hands!  Michael Ramirez of IBD Editorials notices a pattern in this administration.  Whenever a question arises, what’s the best answer?  Ramirez wonders today whether a young Barack Obama had trouble thinking of anything else other than his fallback position these days:

A famous bit of wisdom says that when all you have is a hammer, every problem starts looking like a nail.  Thus far, every problem looks to Barack Obama as an opportunity for government intervention and nationalization.  Which kind of tool does that make him?

Ramirez has a terrific collection of his works: Everyone Has the Right to My Opinion, which covers the entire breadth of Ramirez’ career, and it gives a fascinating look at political history.  Read my review here, and watch my interviews with Ramirez here and here.  And don’t forget to check out the entire IBD site, while individual investors still exist.
