Not just a failure, but a fraud.
I think that would be a good epitaph for the administration in general.

In Case You Were Wondering
I was at Space 2012 most of the day in Pasadena, sans laptop. In theory, I can blog from my phone, but it’s very clumsy (linking is a real pain). I did see Colin Ake there (among many others) and expressed my condolences on the Masten mishap. He told me their next vehicle (which is designed to go to a hundred kilofeet) is standing up on the floor in the shop, and might be able to fly in the next two or three months. I guess they’ll have more time to work on it now that they won’t be doing as much flight test for a while…
The Value Of A College Education
Here is a poster child for it. Note that, like the president, she blames everyone but herself.
Uwingo
There are only five days left to fund their initial project at Indiegogo.
[Mid-morning update]
For those curious, here’s some background.
“No Plan B”
Hell, I’d be happy if these clowns even had a Plan A, when it came to serious spending and deficit reduction.
The Democrats’ New False Campaign Narrative
I have some thoughts on Bill Clinton’s nonsense, over at PJMedia.
A commenter over there makes a good point. If you look at the curve of the current “recovery, it does appear that it started to rebound symmetrically, but something happened to cause it to stall out. His theory is that it was the passage of ObamaCare. I think that’s a good guess.

Related thoughts from Jen Rubin:
If you had been dropped from outer space into the Democratic National Convention, you would have thought that we enjoyed full employment, reduced poverty and stared down Iran, leaving us with deeply important issues like paying for birth control for grown women. You would have thought that a large majority of Americans weren’t sympathetic to Israel and weren’t religious. You’d have thought that the federal government had money to burn and no looming debt crisis. You would never have thought that Obama had signed a “historic” health-care bill. And you’d have thought that the political heavyweight in the Obama household was Michelle. (Well, you might have been right about the last one.)
But knowing that the America of 2012 is so very different than the convention portrait, it’s worth asking how the Democrats’ convention became so divorced from reality.
As she says, it’s been a long time coming.
America’s Wealth
Five ways it saps our character.
Fortunately, it’s a problem that the Democrats seem determined to solve, albeit unwittingly.
Listening To The President’s Speech
Just noting things that struck out to me, for further fodder.
“We defeated fascism.” No mention of Communism.
“Bold persistent experimentation.” Referencing Roosevelt policy that gave us a decade of high unemployment and no real recovery.
Unsure Robots
…make better teachers than know-alls.
This doesn’t surprise me at all. I’ve always found that the best way to learn a subject is to teach it to someone else.
The Housing Bubble
Bill Clinton helped build that.
Yes. That needs to be part of the critique of the Romney administration.
