One year ago, the Obama Administration rammed through an auto bailout benefiting Big Labor that utterly obliterated the contractual rights of secured creditors. Obama has also famously charged like a bull through a china gallery on ObamaCare, Arizona’s immigration enforcement law and myriad other issues.
Despite those abuses of authority, Obama shamelessly pivots to plead that his hands are tied whenever it suits his momentary needs. Appearing on MTV today, Obama was confronted with an inconvenient question about his failure to make good on his sanctimonious promise to end the military’s “Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell” policy. His answer? “It has to be done in a way that is orderly… I do have an obligation to make sure that I’m following some of the rules. I can’t simply ignore the laws that are out there, I’ve got to work to make sure that they are changed.”
Obama may soon be hoping to achieve a Clintonian recovery following a disastrous mid-term Congressional election, but his clumsiness to date doesn’t suggest that he’s in the same league as Slick Willie.
