Blah-Blah-Déjà-Blah

Remember the age of innocence when Rush Limbaugh  developed a Clinton Campaign Promise scorecard?   I received mine with a subscription to the Limbaugh Letter. The idea was that documenting broken promises would limit Slick to one term. What a hoot.  Some of you will remember this (H/T Sweetness and Light) Sound vaguely familiar? Heh. Did we get that tax cut?  Hell no.  What we did get was the biggest tax increase in American history.  And to rub salt in the wound, Clinton made it retroactive to Jan. 1, 1993.  Sixteen years later ... this. Al doesn't pay tax as it is Guess what?  “ Public seems willing to wait on tax cuts ” As Sarah Palin observed, "Isn't it nice to have a pet newspaper?"  Or, in Obama's case, pet media.  So this is how the next four years will be.  Obama's W.H. will confab with Obama's media over planned, unpopular whatever, and the media will precondition us to beg for it!  “ A new public opinion must be created privately and unobtrusively. The existing one is maintained by the press, by propaganda, by organization, and by financial and other influences which are at its disposal. The unnatural way of spreading ideas must be opposed by the natural one, which goes from man to man and relies solely on the truth of the thoughts and the hearer's receptiveness for new truth.
