Via Locker Room, I came across Mark Steyn’s piece on President Obama’s most recent history lesson.
Never minding the arrogance behind unjustly and inaccurately criticizing a former president who can’t speak for himself—Steyn gets to the essential problem the country faces under Obama:
But obviously Rutherford B. Hayes isn’t as “forward-looking” as a 21st-century president who believes in Jimmy Carter malaise, 1970s Eurostatist industrial policy, 1940s British health-care reforms, 1930s New Deal–sized entitlements premised on mid-20th-century birth rates and life expectancy, and all paid for by a budget with more zeroes than anybody’s seen since the Weimar Republic. If that’s not a shoo-in for Mount Rushmore, I don’t know what is.
That’s the definition of hope and change, which obviously is neither.
