Welcome To New Washington, Same As Old Washington

Written by , Posted in General/Misc.

President Obama has always talked big about changing the way things are done in Washington.  He has unquestionably failed to deliver.  The latest example involves his Fiscal Commission.  At their first meeting, he said, “for years, folks in Washington deferred politically difficult decisions and avoided telling hard truths about the nature of the problem.”

And how exactly do the “folks in Washington” defer difficult decisions? Oh, that’s right, they form a commission that they can later pretend to listen to, then ultimately sideline.  We don’t need any more commissions, Mr. President.  We need politicians like you to name something – anything – that you are capable of cutting.  Right now.  Stop the posturing, pontificating, and politicking and just do it.
