Cheap shots and a pair of Air Ernsts

Dear Ron Fournier,

I hear that you wrote,

Count how many times Obama uses the words “I,” “me,” and “my.” Compare that number to how often he says, “You,” “we,” “our.” If the first number is greater than the second, Obama has failed.

Doin' the chronic disconnect

Is there an editor in the house?

David Sanger on the imperatives of legacy rethinking:

“There is a chronic disconnect, not just in this administration, between the policy, the budget guidance, and the classified strategies,” said Shawn Brimley, the director of studies at the Center for a New American Security, who served as the director of strategic planning at the National Security Council during Mr. Obama’s first term. That is what Mr. Obama needs to do for a “lasting legacy” of rethinking America’s defenses, Mr. Brimley said, but “if you don’t do it in the next six months, it’s too late.”

Yes, virtually identical. As we mourn the 1,833 people who have died from the ravages of Obamacare over the past three weeks, the 200,000 homes destroyed, the 800,000 rendered homeless, the $150 billion in economic damage, we have to ask ourself once again: Doesn't God do enough harm? Why should our president get in the act as well?

Oh, one other difference: This time President Bush wasn't forced to interrupt his vacation. Also it is rumored that some people may be getting some affordable health insurance. Which is strange when you come to think about it: wouldn't you think they'd prefer some nice FEMA trailers?
