Dithering?

Commentary By Ron Beasley

I covered the dangerous senile rantings of the old fool David Broder here yesterday morning.

It's still getting some play over at memeorandum this morning.

Steve Benen has a great reaction:

I realize there's been a painful decline in the quality of Broder's
analysis in recent years, but this column is a mess. He's effectively
calling for President Obama to act and think more like President Bush
-- make decisions first, and think through the consequences and
implications second.

Worse, Broder goes so far as to castigate the administration for
"all this dithering" -- using Dick Cheney's preferred choice of words.

The New York Times in an amazing grasp of the obvious moment tells us we can't afford the Afghan war at one million dollars a soldier.

This brings us to the most amazing reaction of all.  After the Bush administration and the Republicans spent eight years destroying the economy and busting the budget Jack Moss over at Macs(lack of)mind has the nerve to ask:

Did Obama Bankrupt the Country to the Point it Can't Defend itself?

Of course "politically volatile spending", such as bailing out banks,
Wall Street, Newspapers and God knows who else is just fine.

Hey Jack, apparently you forgot that bailing out the banks and Wall Street was a continuation of Bush administration policy.  And yes I disagreed when Bush did it and I disagreed when Obama continued it but that's one "bankruptcy" you can't entirely blame on Obama.
