The only good thing about Obama's spending freeze will be watching RWers twist it into...

[JVS]

some kind of "proof" that he's a radical communist. Don't think it won't happen.,it's just going to take some seriously warped logic. It will be so amusing. In fact as Rahm keeps telling me to fuck off with his words and Obama keeps doing the same with his actions, I can't say that there isn't a certain amount of Schadenfreude watching him try to appeal to the right and get nothing but shit in return. It's a shame that it's a pattern of behavior that will fuck up the country even more, but I guess it's what I have to watch for the next three years.

Everything else about it is a big bowl of fail unless it addresses the issue of military spending that bleeds us dry. Obama has already rejected the moral argument for ending these horrible wars. He's ok with the immorality of them. He's ignored the practical issue of fighting wars without any definitive victory conditions. Now as he spends ever larger military budgets and has his commission of douchebags eye up "entitlements" for a trim, he seems to be ignoring another practical issue of not being able to afford this war. Pragmatic, my ass! This is not pragmatism, this is failure to address issues.

1. Hey Radical Communism is anything the RW says.

Public libraries? Radical Communism!
Clean drinking water? Radical Communism!
National Parks? Radical Communism!
Holding the door open for little old ladies? Radical Communism!
A tiny tax increase to pay for schools and roads? Radical Communism!
Educating children? Radical Communism!
