Obama's Fiscal Armageddon

Obama's Fiscal Armageddon

No one could possibly say that this president of ours isn’t always on the job, highly-attuned to his responsibilities, committed to serving the American people. As incontrovertible proof of all that, he abbreviated his South and Central American jaunt and headed home–a full two hours earlier than planned.

Nevermind those allegations that heading off with family in tow for Brazil when Japan was on the verge of exploding, when Libya was in critical meltdown, when Wisconsin was in revolt was ill-conceived and outrageously-timed.

Just disregard the messages of detachment and disinterest sent by an American president going on another vacation during these tempestuous times.

Malia and Sasha were on spring break. He had to take them somewhere!

But, the enigma remains: Why the rush back? Lord help us if it were because of Liz Taylor’s death! That’s doubtful, although anything is possible with a star-struck president so enamored with the Hollywood set.

Perhaps he had to get back because his Libyan coalition which had never really coalesced was rapidly disintegrating or because word had leaked out that the administration is considering for FBI chief a candidate who would make Gaius Caligula’s appointment of his horse as Roman senator seem like a stroke of genius.

Then, again, Obama’s Libyan war that is not a war couldn’t be the cause of his hasty retreat home since his non-war strategy couldn’t be any murkier whether he was in the lands of latinos or in the White House. And, as for short-listing Jamie Gorelick . . .
