BUY IN BULK! ?If not for the on-off interrogation show trial debacle, the biggest presidential miss?

By Glenn Reynolds

BUY IN BULK! “If not for the on-off interrogation show trial debacle, the biggest presidential misstep of the week would have been the laughable effort to nibble $100M out of the federal budget.”

It’s a target-rich environment. More: “But this is what the Obama team is forced to resort to ? silly symbolic efforts because of the trap they find themselves in, or rather, have put themselves in. They have created a massively irresponsible budget that will, over time, eat up more and more of the GDP and strain our ability to finance our debt. And the public, independent voters especially, are very nervous about it. Figuring that the public isn?t paying much attention to the number of zeroes, Obama throws out a number that used to sound like a lot of money ? $100M. But the public is perhaps smarter than Obama reckons, and the administration?s critics aren?t playing along with the charade.”
