Victor Davis Hanson<\/a> posted an article at National Review<\/a> today which sums up the presidency of Barack Obama. The article is simply entitled, “ Don\u2019t Mess with Messiahs.\u00a0 <\/a><\/span>Whenever things go wrong, it\u2019s the fault of those obstructionists in Congress.<\/span>”<\/p>\n

The article describes the President’s latest whine:<\/p>\n

I<\/span>n Obama\u2019s most recent \u2014 and embarrassing \u2014 public whine, he lashed out at the once-obsequious press. In his now customary first-person I\/me\/my\/mine lament (e.g., \u201cThey don\u2019t do anything, except block me and call me names. . . . If they were more interested in growing the economy for you and the issues that you are talking about instead of trying to mess with me, we would be doing a lot better. . . . The critics, the cynics in Washington<\/a>, they\u2019ve written me off more times than I can count.\u201d), he lambasted the partisan culture of Washington. He lashed out at the Tea Party, the House Republicans, his opponents in general, and all those who would unreasonably oppose his blanket amnesties, his climate-change taxes and regulations, the shutdown of the Keystone-pipeline<\/a> project, <\/span>Obamacare<\/a>, and $9 trillion in new debt.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Hanson points out that President Obama acts as though he was not in charge when the VA scandal occurred, the IRS<\/a> scandal occurred, Benghazi<\/a> was overrun, and the Middle East<\/a> imploded. Who, then, is running the show?<\/p>\n

As it becomes more obvious that President Obama’s<\/a> economic policies are not working, he seems inclined to continue them.<\/p>\n

The article points out:<\/p>\n

…Yet the administration\u2019s reaction seems to be more deficit spending, more zero interest rates, more regulations, more restrictions on new energy development, and more class-warfare rhetoric.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Again, the message seems to be something like, \u201cOne way or another we are going to grow government, broaden the progressive base, increase the number of Americans on entitlements, raise taxes, cheapen the value of money, run up deficits, pile up regulations \u2014 and let you nitpickers worry about the high unemployment, sinking GDP<\/a>, and declining household income.\u201d The point is not to find the best way to help ordinary Americans, but to find a way to ram through a progressive economic agenda without much concern over whether it works or makes things worse.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hang on to your hats–this President does not seem to learn from his mistakes.<\/p>\n
