Two takes on the President’s latest speech

Thomas Sowell at Townhall.com has no problem in asking the questions that need to be asked.

Back to the Future?

Those who are impressed by words seem to think that President Barack Obama made a great speech to Congress last week. But, when you look beyond the rhetoric, what did he say that was fundamentally different from what he has been saying and doing all along?

Are we to continue doing the same kinds of things that have failed again and again, just because Obama delivers clever words with style and energy?

Frankly I have never see the style and energy. I have seen a man swinging his head back and forth reading from two teleprompters, and not all that well. With the sound off he looks as if he is watching tennis match, a very slow tennis match.

Once we get past the glowing rhetoric, what is the president proposing? More spending! Only the words have changed — from “stimulus” to “jobs” and from “shovel-ready projects” to “jobs for construction workers.”

The rhetoric only glows for those who believe, I don’t.

If government spending were the answer, we would by now have a booming economy with plenty of jobs, after all the record trillions of dollars that have been poured down a bottomless pit. Are we to keep on doing the same things, just because those things have been repackaged in different words?

Michael Barone said this about President Obama:

A pragmatist doesn’t keep pressing the same garage-door button when the garage door doesn’t open. He gets out of the car and tries to identify what’s wrong.

He titled his article The President’s Pathetic, Pedestrian Speech, Obama buys the drinks that the other guys pay for.

Read both of these excellent articles. Sowell’s is the more mild mannered.
