The most astonishing feature of Mr Obama's speech the other evening was the assertion that his half-trillion-dollar Stimulus II is "paid for." It's like the jobs "created or saved" that have been a hallmark of his administration. (All government programs are "paid for," most commonly these days with borrowed money.)
Holman Jenkins in the WSJ has a hilarious satire on the speech, in the form of its supposed first draft: 'Notwithstanding the economic crisis, I have chosen to pursue my own agenda instead because I'm comfortable with it.' Blue skies! -- Dan Ford
