http://hughhewitt.comBarack Obama is making far more messes than he's claiming to clean up. He told a fawning fundraising crowd in San Francisco recently that he and House Speaker Pelosi, AKA, Princess Pelousy, are 'mopping up' the messes and he wants his detractors to get out of the way. Does anyone either Obama or Pelousy would consider manual labor let alone do it? Or if either is capable of fixing a problem?
Obama couldn't hold a mop at a Swiffer convention. He couldn't clean the immaculate Sistine Chapel. He disingenuously boasts that he welcomes a healthy debate. His opponents should watch their backs. Their health could be in danger.
Obama, the prima donna, is making more messes than he's attempting to clean up. He cries like a ten year-old claiming how bad conditions were when he took office. If the situation was that bad, why did he run for the job?
Speaking of the messes, when he took office in January, unemployment was 7.6%. Now it's 9.8%. The dollar is shrinking around the world. The war in Afghanistan is slipping out of control. The death toll is rising to unprecedented numbers. Obama could take his own advice and get out of the way of the commanders, General Petraeus and General McChrystal, and let them win the war. Iran is defying Obama in forcing them to stop their nuclear development.
If Obama wants to use mopping up a mess as his metaphor, he's free to do so. He inherited a leaky faucet but he's turned that leak into a flooded basement. If he gets his way with health care, he won't have created a mess. It will be a disaster.
