Presto-O! Change-(You Can Believe In)-O!
W
ith the Dow tumbling yet again (hey, but only 1.48% this time!), a little good cheer is needed and can be found at Kimberly Strassels’s Potomic Watch column in the WSJ. A teaser or two:
To kick off our show tonight, Mr. Obama will give 95% of American working families a tax cut, even though 40% of Americans today don’t pay income taxes! How can our star enact such mathemagic? How can he “cut” zero? Abracadabra! It’s called a “refundable tax credit.” It involves the federal government taking money from those who do pay taxes, and writing checks to those who don’t. Yes, yes, in the real world this is known as “welfare,” but please try not to ruin the show.
Later in the show, the spotlight picks up The Amazing O as he performs foreign policy magic:
And for tonight’s finale, the Great Obama will uphold America’s “moral” obligation to “stop genocide” by abandoning Iraq! While teleported to the region, he will simultaneously convince Iranian leaders to peacefully abandon their nuclear pursuits (even as he does not sit down with them), fix Afghanistan with a strategy that does not resemble the Iraqi surge, and (drumroll!) pull Osama bin Laden out of his hat!
Good stuff.
A particularly grateful hat-tip to Jim.
