But wait — the president has a plan to create jobs and deal with the debt, the White House declares. Finally, in the 32nd month of his presidency, he\’s going to show his cards.
Never mind. He has a plan, but will release it next month, the 33rd of his presidency. No \”fierce urgency of now\” there.
First, he\’s retreating to another vacation on Martha\’s Vineyard. No doubt he\’ll gather his kitchen Cabinet to conjure more ways to separate Americans from their money and each other.
His is a fall from grace that hasn\’t hit bottom. With 40 percent of the public still approving of his performance, it\’ll probably take a second recession for truth to dawn on the diehards.
We can shout at each other over whether he\’s actually up to the job, but not about whether he\’s willing to make the ideological sacrifices necessary to do it successfully. He is so determined to transform the nation into his own ideal that he\’s still pushing the same class-warfare nonsense he did three years ago, though now his record makes his aim more obvious.
Although 25 million Americans — 25 million! — are in want of a full-time job, our president is stuck in political navel gazing. He has a pronounced fetish for self-reverence and, according to many eyewitness accounts, regards himself as not just the smartest man in every room, but also the only moral one.
Everyone else is compromised and limited, while only he is pure and omniscient. Or so he genuinely seems to believe.
