Quote
Pitchfork Time

by Patrick J. Buchanan


In his campaign and inaugural address, Barack Obama cast himself as a moderate man seeking common ground with conservatives.

 Yet, his budget calls for the radical restructuring of the U.S. economy, a sweeping redistribution of power and wealth to government and Democratic constituencies. It is a declaration of war on the Right.

The real Obama has stood up, and lived up to his ranking as the most left-wing member of the United States Senate.

Barack has no mandate for this. He was even behind McCain when the decisive event that gave him the presidency occurred -- the September collapse of Lehman Brothers and the market crash.

Republicans are under no obligation to render bipartisan support to this statist coup d'etat. For what is going down is a leftist power grab that is anathema to their principles and philosophy.

[size=12]Where the U.S. government usually consumes 21 percent of gross domestic product, this Obama budget spends 28 percent in 2009 and runs a deficit of $1.75 trillion, or 12.7 percent of GDP. That is four times the largest deficit of George W. Bush and twice as large a share of the economy as any deficit run since World War II.[/size] ---MORE--- (http://townhall.com/columnists/PatrickJBuchanan/2009/03/03/pitchfork_time)[/b]

To think that the liberals just a short time ago were shreiking about the Bush deficits. In one month this moron who couldn't even run a hotdog stand, triples it!

Suddenly, all the lefties I work with are silent.
