Herr Joe Klein Believes Obama Too Good For American People

People's Commissar Joe Klein

Joe Klein emits a colossal brainfart in Time Mag, which recently has become a repository for cerebral methane:

It is very difficult to have a democracy without citizens. It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of dodos

.

First, this hilariously egregious solecism by Klein reminds me of the comment of Kurt Weill in 1953 after Stalin's death & the resulting Berlin riots eliciting a rebuke from the GDR Stalinist Commie Magnates of East Germany that "the Germans were unworthy of the gift of Communism." Longtime Party Member Weill was heard saying out loud "Perhaps the government should find itself another People."

Joe and his buddies inside the Beltway, of course, never got the memo. The American people are, as Bill Clinton would endlessly intone, very good at discerning the good stuff from the BS. The memo Joe never got is that Obama's gang of Keystone Kops simply can't keep blaming everything bad that happens on GWB or on ignorance about the true merits of a humongous dead-trees slaughterhouse of a bill.

The American people are coming to a preliminary judgment on Obama. And the judgment, judging from his Gallup numbers lower than anyone else's after 12 months as POTUS, is thumb's down. He may rebound as Bill Clinton did after 1994, but Billy Jeff ate a lot of crow and signed a welfare reform bill. Will this bantamweight law prof with a bad case of narcissism be able to perform acts of self abasement or at least admit that he done did us wrong?

Klein and his Time/Newsweak/Atlantic/NYT band of scribblers overlook the socialism or corporatist fascism and the deficit-busting booby traps inherent in the 2000-plus monstrosity of the ObamaCare. They are really mere touts and cheerleaders and tour guides to an enlightened policy nirvana, in their self-serving p.o.v.

Their mantra beats the drum for government ownership & control, and they're going to borrow the stimulus money and push it into "shovel-ready" projects? The only shovels being used are the ones carrying the BS that Klein and his buddies distribute by the truckload. One small business owner on a comment thread asked about that tax relief that Klein was talking about. It's not in his employees' paychecks and maybe Joe swallowed another fishbait from Rahm-bo hook, line, and sinker.

The actual political movers and shakers whose jobs and futures are on the line, Democrat politicians, are deciding, like Beau Biden, not to risk the mood of a populace enraged by condescending patronizing asshats like Klein and a remote, aloof Pharaoh gazing like a Sphinx above us mere "dodos." Or like Cong. Berry in AR, to retire without getting a thorough drubbing.

One man's "stimulus" is another man's "deficit" that is going to have to be paid off. Gypsy bandits like Klein and the rest of the parasitic elites on the ultra-left can have all the patronizing condescending hissy fits they want. The American people are walking away from them, their BS, and their BS POTUS Obama.
