“Obama is accused of being too radical, but he’s been governing from the middle for a year. So why all the anger? Because he’s leading with his head, not his heart.”

Wow.

Let’s take a look at that track record:

  • Financial crisis
    • Replace banking leaders with leaders who know nothing about banks? Check
    • Remove incentives for banking leaders to perform? Check
      • Create exception for the two government-run banks who actually did the most to cause the crisis (except Congress) – Check
    • Support populist position to permanently keep those incentives out?  Check
    • Force banks to take loans they didn’t need and to pay interest on those loans?  Check
    • Impose tax on those banks to recoup money already paid back (with interest)?  Check
  • US Auto Industry
    • Engineer take0ver of 2 US auto companies?  Check
    • Force illegal bankruptcy procedures to give ownership to government and large Obama campaign donors?  Check
    • Exert so much oppressive control over these companies that leadership is impossible to find?  Check
  • Economic Stimulus
    • Spend over $1 trillion in stimulus sold as near-term stimulus, the bulk of which doesn’t start for 2 years?  Check
    • Spend over 80% of said money  spent so far on saving state government employees’ jobs and not on stimulating economy?  Check
  • Moral Issues
    • Force citizens to pay for abortions, even if they don’t agree with it?  Check
    • Condemn the liberation of free speech by the Supreme Court?  Check
    • Force pharmacists who don’t agree with birth control or abortive medicine to fill prescriptions for it?  Check

If that’s governing from your head, I pray he never tries to govern with his heart.
