The First Black President (Just Not In The Black)

"When Barack Obama took over after the disaster that was George W. Bush, he did not, in terms of the most pressing domestic issue after unemployment, take a new and different path. He spent, just like Mr. Bush, only even more. It was as if he were saying, 'You think Bush broke the bank? I'll show you what a broken bank looks like.' This isn't a departure, it's a doubling down."

-- Peggy Noonan, explaining the "change" Obama promised was exactly what we'd be left with when he was done - to the applause of the delusional rubes in the Democratic Party - making "the disaster that was George W. Bush" look more like the reasonable leadership it was, to me and The Wall Street Journal.
