This post by John Derbyshire at The Corner may haunt me for awhile. We are doing what our advisor says to do. Giving up today for a better future tomorrow. I usually do the right thing. A year ago, I could see my reward building, a future out there that was reasonable. Now we are back a dozen years in effort, with a harder slog ahead. All this while I pay for others to do the wrong thing. Meanwhile, Pres. Obama preaches to me about personal responsibility.

Pres. Claims Minor Differences on Stimulus Package – Negates own Argument
Posted by madjillmom on February 23, 2009
At his closing comments on the Fiscal Responsibility Summit, he claims there were only about 15% difference with the Republicans on the stimulus package. Only a little bit of difference he says. The why, prey tell, did he always state the argument in terms of this stimulus package versus no stimulus package?
Plus, after being lectured by a Republican on including ideas from the Republicans to get more bi-partisan support, Obama went back to the false argument of no Republican ideas. The republicans have a lot of ideas and the President knows it. The Pres. is very touchy about this. Very thin skinned.
If the Republicans work with the President on the Fiscal Responsibility Summit, they should make sure to publicize their ideas to the people so the President can’t say once again that they had no ideas. The republicans have to do a better job of getting out their message.
