Egad what a masterpiece. Unusually good commentary from the readership as well.
Obama is more like an old Yugo. Everyone with a brain could see he was a bad idea from the beginning but that didn’t stop some people from buying the pitch.
I immediately thought Yugo as well. But the Yugo is too good! Right now the only President worse than Obama was Wilson.

Obama is a Ford Pinto, waiting to get rear-ended.
How about a Trabant?
One of those “sports cars” made from a snazzy fiberglass shell over a Volkswagen beetle chassis…
Dodge Dart, wastes oil, lousy transmission, helped bankrupt Chrysler
If the Edsel and the ’71 Pinto had a love child, and it mated with its sister…
the radical increase in the public sector under Obama
Seasonally Adjusted Government Employment
January, 2009: 21,225,000
January, 2010: 21,227,000
Increase: 0.009%
Hanson is a clown.
Idiot Jim blithely overlooks the wholesale demolition of private-sector jobs during the same period.
Perspective. It’s not just for breakfast anymore.
Jim, do you think that our current government work force can absorb the bureaucratic workload added by Obamacare, ARRA, TARP, cap and trade, financial regulatory overhaul, et al? The really big ticket items from a bureaucratic viewpoint were passed after the January 2010 date found in the link you provided. VDH is looking ahead
The original anger with ObamaNationm’s plan to turn the USA into Venezuela del Norte undoubtedly is exacerbated by the arrogance of what I call “the New Toryism.” I am referring to this looking-down-the-nose-through-a-lorgnette attitude of “Il Dufe’s” cheering section in the MSM. “Oh, dear–the peasantry is restless. Why don’t these serfs just shut up, roll over, and graciously consent to being buggered by their betters?”
Dodge Dart, I had a red one when I was a kid (that, $50 and a boot in my ass constituted my start in life at 16.) It had a bad throttle return spring which would bring the front tires off the ground. Turning off the ignition barely slowed it down!
A cop in Phoenix once stopped me to tell me I hadn’t done a thing wrong, but since I was 18 and the car was red… he’d be watching me.
