Sarah Palin on Wisconsin Recall: “Obama had to distance himself from the solutions.”
“Solutions?” he says, “What solutions?”
“Obama is so self-satisfied that in his mind, his legacy was largely written before he stepped into office. So fervent is his ideological belief system that even objective evidence of his dismal policy failures doesn’t shake his confidence in his prescriptions.” David Limbaugh @ http://www.wnd.com/2012/05/obamas-morbid-vanity/
Limbaugh’s article reminded me of our once-upon-a-time pediatrician.
My youngest was on the 50th percentile for height and weight from birth through 2 months checkup, but at her next, 4 months, she had dropped into the 5th. I think in that time she gained something like 4 ounces. Her doctor seemed less than concerned; I was alarmed.
For six months, the baby’s growth crept along in that very-small-for-her-age place. If she’d been small from the start, that would be okay. But she hadn’t been.
The pediatrician diddled around with a “wait and see” attitude, which made me slightly nuts. So I went and did my own research, ultimately taking the baby to a specialist. He did some tests and worked with me to create a treatment plan, which we instituted at about the eight months mark.
Within six weeks of starting, the baby’s rate of growth had QUADRUPLED. When I showed this to the pediatrician and told her what the specialist and I had done, she just sniffed and said the treatment hadn’t done anything at all.
“You just started feeding her more.”
IOW, rather than admit that the treatment plan was effective, she as good as accused me of STARVING my infant for SIX MONTHS.
That kid is now 28 years old and I STILL want to slap that damn doctor. I KNOW that if she had prescribed a treatment that produced a quadrupling of growth, she’d have taken credit.
Ditto Obama’s policies. If they’d worked, he’d take credit. They haven’t worked, but he won’t take blame.

During the twelve years of Republican leadership, the highest unemployment rate was 6.3%, which lasted for only one month in 2003. During the last month that Republicans held majority control, unemployment was 4.4%.
After Democrats took majority control of the federal government in January 2007 and during the last two years of Bush’s tenure, unemployment rose from 4.4% to 7.3%. In January 2009, when Obama moved into the Oval Office, unemployment stood at 7.8% and has been at or above 8.1% for all 40 months since. For 28 of those 40 months, unemployment stood between 9.0% and 10.0%.
Do you need any other reason to vote for Republicans this fall?
Thanks to Itooktheredpill for his feedback about my two previous employment and party control graphics. I implemented his suggestions, combining the best features of each. The quality of this one (below) owes a lot to his assistance!

Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama each entered the White House during a bad economy. Obama often says he inherited the worst economy since the Great Depression. This is wrong. The economy Reagan inherited from Jimmy Carter was worse.
