Having praised President Obama's job performance in two recent columns, it is with regret that I now worry that he may be deepening what looks more and more like a depression and may engineer so much spending, debt, and government control of the economy as to leave most Americans permanently less prosperous and less free.Other Obama-admiring centrists have expressed similar concerns. Like them, I would like to be proved wrong. After all, if this president fails, who will revive our economy? And when? And what kind of America will our children inherit?
But with the nation already plunging deep into probably necessary debt to rescue the crippled financial system and stimulate the economy, Obama's proposals for many hundreds of billions in additional spending on universal health care, universal postsecondary education, a massive overhaul of the energy economy, and other liberal programs seem grandiose and unaffordable.

I don't want to hear it. All of these "centrists" (i.e. lacking in critical independent thought) were told who Uh-bama was, what he would do, and what would happen if he did. They chose not to believe it. Now to excuse themselves as somehow being hoodwinked is disingenuous. They are mostly to blame for this mess. I for one think the 47% of us that didn't vote for Obama (i.e. the rational) should get bailed out by the 53% that did.
I concur
