Everything You Need to Know About the Obama Economy in One Picture
Here it is:
If you can't see it clearly, here's what it is: a picture of a (what looks like) 220v plugged-in extension cord, connected to a power strip with open outlets, floating on two flip-flops in an inflatable hot tub.
It's stupid and dangerous and deadly. But if you're drunk enough (notice the beer bottles in the background) it probably seems like a perfect solution.
The presence of the 220v plugs makes me think this photo was taken in Europe. Perfect. This photo also illustrates the problem with the jerry-built EU response to Greek, Irish, Spanish, and Portuguese debt.
But it's especially appropriate to illustrate the thinking behind the Obama economic team: a collection of higher-tax proposals, spending increases, fat public payrolls, union giveaways, all resting on the twin flip-flops of delusional economic forecasting and socialist Kool-Aid.
It'll work, too, as long as nobody moves an inch.

Rob, you goof, that's Obama's solution to end-of-life care.

I would think the photo was a joke if I hadn't seen it myself once.
Here are three indictments of the present administration:
1) Reckless endangerment.; 2) Depraved indifference: 3) Implied malice. It's not necessary to prove damages for these to stick. But we can prove massive damages.

By the way, Rob, that might look like an inflatable hot tub to the eyes of the Santa Monica elites, but where I came from, it's called a kiddie pool.

The electrical analogy that I like--not just for Obama, but for the whole school of thought that he represents--is the penny in the fusebox. (Fuse: an obsolete electrical device that performed the function now performed by circuit breakers) There were always idiots who would react to a blown fuse by putting a penny in the fusebox instead of going to the store to get a new fuse. This did have the advantage of turning the lights , or whatever appliance, back on, but also created the distinct possibility of burning the house down.
