McCain Was An Idiot, OBambi Defies Descriptors

clipped from patterico.com No, I’m not kidding: President Obama is putting the finishing touches on an ambitious first budget that seeks to cut the federal deficit in half over the next four years, primarily by raising taxes on business and the wealthy and by slashing spending on the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, administration officials said. I’m pretty sure raising taxes is generally accepted as a great way to jump-start an ailing economy. Just ask our legislators here in California. And I’m pleased to see Obama’s big commitment to turning Afghanistan around includes slashing spending on that war.
