Michael Barone has a good one today in the Washington Examiner called "The Convenient Fantasies of President Obama."
1. About Van Jones --the avowed Communist No-bama appointed as his "Green Jobs Czar" (what a lot of hooey) and the eco-friendly crapola: "If there were money to be made in green jobs, private investors would be creating them already. In fact big corporations like General Electric are scrambling to position themselves as green companies, gaming legislation and regulations so they can make profits by doing so. Big business is ready to create green jobs -- if government subsidizes them. But the idea that green jobs will replace all the lost carbon-emitting jobs is magical thinking."
2. About part of this health care issue: "There is an element of convenient fantasy as well in Obama's health care statements to date. We are going to save money by spending money. We are going to solve our fiscal problems with a program that will increase the national debt by $1,000,000,000,000 over a decade. We are going to guarantee you can keep your current insurance with a bill that encourages your employer to stop offering it."
3. About what Demon-crats are in the habit of doing: "Most politicians like to promise voters all good things at once. Democrats got in the habit of doing this over the past 14 years when they could not pass legislation by themselves."
