Not Being There.
February 9, 2009
I laughed out loud last week when I heard that Obama was going back onto the campaign trail. I remember thinking, “doesn’t he have, like, a job these days?”
Ed Morrissey agrees:
In a way, Obama’s escaping rather than campaigning. The problem in this bill isn’t in Elkhart, and neither is the solution. Obama let his signature issue jump off the rails when he failed to control Nancy Pelosi and force her to get Republicans involved in writing the bill. That didn’t happen in Elkhart. He could solve that problem by summoning Pelosi and Harry Reid to the Oval Office and instructing them to go back to the drawing board, this time with Republican leadership, and get a bill that would gain massive support on both sides of the aisle.

When it stops working. . .
Even though the support of the bailout bill has fallen quicker and farther than oil prices as details become known, it’s the REPUBLICAN approval ratings that are being driven through the floor.

He’s doubling down, and at this point it seems like the only way the American people will be shocked back into reality is if unemployment goes up, or at least plateaus for a couple of years. So: shit.
