Obama wants a committee of academics governing America

I know America is going through a momentous time in her history. Canada has lost the battle, but there is no reason why America should.

I thought you might be interested in an article I read in yesterday’s National Post, which is originally from the Washington Post: “As a Progressive, Obama hews to the Wilsonian Tradition.”

Here is the incredible quote, which Obama voiced to Katie Couric on February 7:

“I would have loved nothing better than to simply come up with some very elegant, academically approved approach to healthcare, and didn’t have any kinds of legislative fingerprints on it, and just go ahead and have that passed. But that’s not how it works in our democracy. Unfortunately, what we end up having to do is to do a lot of negotiations with a lot of different people.”

No tainting by mere human interference (and fingerprints) was Obama’s wish. This thing could have been ideologically pure. Now, weren’t you called an ideological purist recently? I don’t think this is what the commentator meant, though.

This punk is forgetting three important aspects of concept development: rigorous research; creativity; and clever design. Since Obama is a lazy ideologue, how could anyone expect him to have the necessary talents to craft something wonderful? And this bill has the imprimatur of Reid and Pelosi, not Bambi.

He is such an embarrassment!
