Marueen Dowd...I agree with you {?!!!)

I never in my life believed I would blog about how I agree with the "super liberal" New York Times's Op-Ed columnist Maureen Dowd. I can't tell you how strange this feels, but I think it is a sign of things to come in the Age of Obama. Even the most liberal pundits can't rationalize Obama's reckless fiscal behavior. I recommend reading it all (see post below), here are a few choice excerpts I never in my life would think that Maureen Dowd would pen:

"In one of his disturbing spells of passivity, President Obama decided not to fight Congress and live up to his own no-earmark pledge from the campaign. He’s been lecturing us on the need to prune away frills while the economy fizzles. He was slated to make a speech on “wasteful spending” on Wednesday{3.4.09}..."

“You know, there are times where you can afford to redecorate your house and there are times where you need to focus on rebuilding its foundation,” he said recently about the “hard choices” we must make. Yet he did not ask Congress to sacrifice and make hard choices; he let it do a lot of frivolous redecorating in its budget..."

"Team Obama sounds hollow, chanting that “the status quo is not acceptable,” even while conceding that the president is accepting the status quo by signing a budget festooned with pork."
