President Obama has announced a spending freeze on that portion of the budget that the business sector (Wall Street) does not like – social programs that in total are contributing about 6% in total to the budget deficit. The deficits themselves are probably not a great concern, as putting people back to work will ease future burdens. But this is the ethos of Washington DC.
Obama, it seems, has changed nothing, and is now acting out the Grover Norquist scenario. The dishonesty is so revealing – there not one hint of the supposed man of progressive leanings who ran for office in 2008. He has completely turned his back on us.
At a time when Massachusetts told him quite bluntly that he was singing the wrong song, he has moved right on to the second verse. This is not Clinton2. It is Bush3.
Piece of Mindful 
I was thinking Clinton/Gore ’93.
The National Partnership for Reinventing Government is the Clinton-Gore Administration’s initiative to reform the way the federal government works. Our mission is to create a government that “works better, costs less, and gets results Americans care about.” Begun in the early days of the Administration, with Vice President Al Gore at its helm, our task force is the longest-running reform effort in U.S. history.

He dispatched all of his administration officials to the appropriate left-leaning shows (Olbermann, Maddow, et al) to explain that the results of the Massachusetts election prove that his administration needs to be more aggressive in tackling Progressive issues, and will tack decidedly to the left.
Then he goes out and does the exact opposite. He really thinks we’re as stupid as the teabaggers. Obama will not get my vote in 2012 – nor will any Democrat in 2010. This has been a disaster, and it continues unabated.
