Barackalypse Now! - America Sucks

Well Obama and I clearly agree on one thing:

government cannot solve all our problems, but what it should do is that which we cannot do for ourselves . . .

Sounds like he is talking about public goods - on most days I'm a minarchist as opposed to an anarchist.  However, Obama just has a lot less faith in America than I do:

. . . protect us from harm . . .

OK, as long as he means harm by others, I'm still with him.

. . . provide every child a decent education . . .

Well, perhaps we can talk about some subsidy, but Obama has never attended a pubic school in the United States.  Surely if private institutions were good enough when he was at Punahou School, and at Occidental, and at Columbia, and at Harvard Law; education is something we can do for ourselves.

. . . keep our water clean . . .

I know, thankfully he had the courage to "stand up to the special interests" and pass a farm bill which gives away millions to encourage the overuse of fertilizers and pesticides to grow otherwise unviable crops on marginal land which could otherwise be conserved.

. . . and our toys safe . . .

Taking "nanny state" a little to seriously, no?

. . . invest in new schools and new roads and new science and technology.

The government needs to invest, because we can't do it for ourselves?  Not dignifying that with a response.

So, you heard it from the horse's mouth: Obama doesn't want a bigger more intrusive government than ever before because has a giant ego and craves power.  It's because he's confident that without a brilliant leader like him telling us what to do at every turn, we could barely make it out of the house with matching socks
