Just two days until Obama ha-Mashiach rides to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on his party's mascot while the masses lay palm branches before him. Wait, no, he's going to walk across the Potomac, bringing a net bursting with 153 fish for good measure. Either way, this is all getting ridiculous. Celebrities and rock stars have all flocked to DC to trumpet the coming of the Messiah. Jesus himself could come back now and probably not even be able to get a single camera crew. This is the perfect setup for a delicious disappointment. I want to see them all when the bond market recoils at the thought of trillion-dollar deficits and interest rates soar. I want to see them all when his "green jobs" program gets bogged down by environmentalist lawsuits or exposed as just more special interest politics. I want to see them all when his "smarter" foreign policy gets us a new hole in some famous skyline. Not that it will make much difference to them. The "journalists" and celebrities that sold Obama to the gullible will still have their careers, no matter what. As for those who voted for him out of misguided hope or irrational emotionalism, that just has to be beaten out of them. We've had several bubbles burst in this decade and judging by the fiscal ambitions of Obama and Congress, the next, and likely last, bubble is government itself. For America to have "real change," people must have their last hopes in the power of government utterly devastated. Only then can we get limited government again.
