Yeah, right, "mourning" in America

Watching too much TV lately. On Megyn Kelly today -- though she wasn't there -- they had a story about how Time magazine is running a cover in an upcoming issue that features Ronald Reagan's profile side-by-side with the Comrade. I mean, is this funny or what? Maybe a case of some kind of "stolen valor" or what?

So this guy named Joe Trippi, a dem who worked for Howard Dean or John Kerry or someone, gets on TV to explain. Trippi says well, no, nobody's saying the Comrade is anything like Reagan policy-wise. The whole thrust of the story is the Comrade renewing public optimism, like Reagan's "Morning in America."

But, you know, somebody also did a video like an un-funny parody on "Morning in America." Called "Mourning in America," it showed photos and played music related to what's really going on with this administration -- unemployment, housing foreclosures, bankruptcies, etc etc. I'm sure you can still find it on YouTube.

And this cover makes me ask the question: Who the hell is editing Time magazine anymore? Geroge Stephanopoulos? Dan Rather?

Here's the central problem with the Comrade and his administration -- apart from blockhead, unworkable and actually ruinous policies. This White House is unable to discern propaganda from reality, and it assumes that we all out here in the hinterland make the same mistake.

The recent State of the Union address was the very first time I've ever heard the Comrade say one good word about America. The very first time. And he called this our "sputnik moment," meaning time for us all to rise up to his challenge.

The thing is, while we'd all like to return the USA to peace and prosperity, rising up the Comrade's challenge will only turn the USA into Red China. Not many people outside the Beltway are up for that. But I suppose this is what the Comrade calls "leadership." More like "cheerleadership," but that's just my own opinion.

Furthermore, I don't think the Comrade has one single concrete idea about turning around the economy or inspiring the public. He has absolutely no experience with this kind of thing (capitalism) on this kind of scale (beyond the barrio.)

He does know how to campaign. That's about it.

And comparing the Comrade to Reagan is really kind of an insult to human intelligence.

Save the Republic.
