Fear mongering

Obama: "It is inexcusable and irresponsible to get bogged down in distraction and delay while millions of Americans are being put out of work."

It is inexcusable and irresponsible to keep scaring people, something that seems to be Obama's specialty.

"And if we drag our feet and fail to act, this crisis will turn into a catastrophe," Obama said today. But he doesn't know that. No one can know it, no one who isn't clairvoyant. There is no evidence that Obama is clairvoyant.

The president needs to change his tone. He needs to stop scaring the American people. Instead he ought to put the fear of God into Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid to produce a "stimulus" bill that is acceptable to the American people, one which is not loaded with left-wing pork like the present bill.
