Conservative Cabal

Quite a bit, as it turns out. Are we numb, as this mathematician (who actually LOOKS like a mathematician) on CNN suggests?  Check out the CNN snippet at Gateway Pundit.

What’s the big deal? So it’s a lot of money. Just make Bill Gates pay, right? Doesn’t he have, like, a trillion dollars in his lake house? No? Oh. Well, the U.S. has been dominant for too long. Don’t we need a break, man? Let someone else lead. Why not China? Give them a chance.

Well, maybe Obama and Congress are making boo-boos. (Victor Davis Hanson at NRO predicts an implosion). Maybe the media is waking up a little bit and wondering if in fact it was a good idea to back someone without even a cursory effort at scrutiny. Maybe, and more importantly, voters are waking up. A trillion dollars… wow.

I am very happy that Obama, unlike the “eeeevil Bush”, is able to admit his mistakes. But we are dealing with, as Taranto very aptly put it in his Best of the Web today, a president who is managing the country like a public high school principle.

I’m more hopeful for change in two years than I was two weeks ago.
