Let Them Eat Wind

Wow, today is rich with blogging possibilities.

First up, if you want to read a Pulitzer Prize winning columnist at his best, check out Dan Henninger today.  He frames Obama's presidency in a remarkable way - the phony and/or impotent focus on the middle class, the overt liberal elitism of it all, and the embarassingly off-point policy details.  This one line should have been the title:  "Let them eat wind."  Four words.  Four words which sum up and encapsulate the Obama presidency - elitist, off-the-mark, empty.

Still, one has to credit the steely fanaticism of the noblesse-oblige left. Here last week was Mr. Obama's new EPA administrator, Gina McCarthy, speaking in Boulder, Colo., about her intention to impose the president's anti-carbon goals through executive order: "We're going to do this this year, next year, the following year, until people understand these are not scary things to do." Let them eat wind. 

Bonus tidbit: news out today that Obama is tackling yet another one of America's non-priorities, college financial aid.  Add this to the list of things that Americans are not really concerned about that Obama is all over.
