Have Your Cake and Eat it Too

A great commentary from Thomas Sowell about Obama’s motivations… It’s pretty clear that Obama never accepts responsibility for anything but success.  This is one trait that he really admires about the Clintons:

What President Obama has been pushing for, and moving toward, is more insidious: government control of the economy, while leaving ownership in private hands. That way, politicians get to call the shots but, when their bright ideas lead to disaster, they can always blame those who own businesses in the private sector.

Politically, it is heads-I-win when things go right, and tails-you-lose when things go wrong. This is far preferable, from Obama’s point of view, since it gives him a variety of scapegoats for all his failed policies, without having to use President Bush as a scapegoat all the time
