Dear President Obama: If "There ain't no right way to do the wrong thing," then why do you keep doing it?

No president in recent memory (well, with the possible exception of Carter) has done more to screw up our economy than you have. Your moronic Budget Director, Peter Orszag, even resorted to this supreme idiocy, by quoting Toby Keith of all people:

‘There ain’t no right way to do the wrong thing.’ Help us do the right thing.”

If he, or you, for that matter, gave a damn about "doing the right thing," then you never would have buried us in debt unnecessarily by racking up the biggest debt since World War Two with mind-boggling amounts that keep our children in debt for generations.

If you gave a damn about doing the "right thing," then you would veto this crap pile full of almost 9000 ear marks; send it back, and force everyone concerned to go through the RIGHT process.

And like your moronic handling of our foreign policy, I'm sure your stubborn insistence on screwing us this way will result in the same disastrous outcome.

Thank you, Mr. President, for living up to the pre-inauguration joke we knew you'd be.

Budget Battles: Orszag Defends Energy-Rich Budget on Hill

Posted by Keith Johnson

There’s something about country singer Toby Keith that White House budget director Peter Orszag just can’t resist.

After quoting the singer’s lyrics to parry tough questions from CNN’s Lou Dobbs in 2007, the administration’s point man defended the $3.6 trillion dollar budget to the House Budget Committee today: “As Toby Keith says, ‘There ain’t no right way to do the wrong thing.’ Help us do the right thing.”

In his prepared testimony, Dr. Orszag—the former director of the Congressional Budget Office—laid out the administration’s thinking behind the big energy-policy changes enshrined in the budget:

The Budget lays the groundwork for an agenda that would transform our nation’s energy consumption. As we have known for many years now, the United States’ dependence on oil and other fossil fuels undermines the country’s national security, and a growing wealth of scientific evidence also suggests that this dependence is contributing to global warming, jeopardizing our economy and our entire planet.

That includes the $15 billion per year earmarked for clean energy over ten years starting in 2012, which Dr. Orszag said would help “reduce our dependence on foreign oil and improve energy efficiency.”
