(Good video at the end of the article. Just what the world needed, "More Leeches".)

More Leeches!
President Obamas speech tonight was a political act, and has generally been treated as such. Indeed, his political purpose was so transparent that he felt compelled to devote his opening paragraphs to denying it. Politics, nevertheless, suffused the speech. Once again, Obama offered the absurd pretense that it is politics that has delayed the governments ability to help the economy recover:
The question is whether, in the face of an ongoing national crisis, we can stop the political circus and actually do something to help the economy .
What political circus is that? The circus that prevailed during the two years when the Democrats had Washington to themselves, and passed whatever they wanted, including a near-trillion-dollar stimulus plan that was a complete failure? Or did the circus start when Congressional Republicans forced the administration to agree to a minimal amount of spending discipline in exchange for increasing the debt ceiling, yet again?"
