Your Muffler Or Your Life?
Riehl World View — Two somewhat light-hearted bits from Krauthammer's otherwise rather grim assessment of Obama's overall intentions. He has now gotten himself so entangled in the car business that he is personally guaranteeing your muffler. (Upon reflection, a job best left to the congenitally unmuffled Joe Biden.) If Obama has his way, the change that is coming is a new America: "fair," leveled and social democratic. Obama didn't get elected to warranty your muffler. He's here to warranty your life. ...

What The Right Is Thinking
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan — Krauthammer lays out Obama's "Ultimate Agenda": His goal is to rewrite the American social compact, to recast the relationship between government and citizen. He wants government to narrow the nation’s income and anxiety gaps. Soak the rich for reasons of revenue and justice.

And fund this vast new social safety net through the cash cow of a disguised carbon tax. Obama is a leveler. ...

And the major upside of the Post going out of business would be the total decimation of its editorial board and op-ed columnist stable. Fred Hiatt, Richard Cohen, Charles Krauthammer, George Will, David Broder. Imagine a media world in which these names no longer existed.

No More Mister Nice Blog — HEY CHUCK, THAT QUESTION WAS BASED ON TWO FALLACIES Charles Krauthammer in today's Washington Post: Fairness through leveling is the essence of Obamaism. (Asked by Charlie Gibson during a campaign debate about his support for raising capital gains taxes -- even if they caused a net revenue loss to the government -- Obama stuck to the tax hike "for purposes of fairness.") Does Obama deserve criticism for that answer? Sure -- but only because what he really should have said to Gibson was "Charlie, you don't know what the ...

Obama's Ultimate Agenda

Developing countries will go on developing no matter how much the British and the American left wring their hands about emissions, in which case if it’s true that industry’s turning the planet into a baked potato, we’ll have to take drastic action to stop it.

What Obama Means When He Talks About ‘Fairness’
Pajamas Media — ... you think it’s fair to you and me who have to pay these taxes?” Each time a CNBC commentator asked if the White House is at all concerned about companies and wealthy individuals leaving the U.S. for places where their tax burden will remain low, Roginsky came back at them with the unfairness of current tax law.

Charles Krauthammer pointed out in an April column that when “asked by Charlie Gibson during a campaign debate about his support for ...
