So Far, Amateur Hour

By Kathleen Parker (WaPo)
Wednesday, February 11, 2009; Page A19

The first however-many days of Barack Obama’s presidency have been a study in amateurism.

Many suspected that Obama wasn’t quite ready, but kept their fingers crossed. Optimistic disappointment is the new holding pattern.

What’s missing from Obama’s performance isn’t the intelligence that voters acknowledged in electing him. It’s the experience they tried to pretend didn’t really matter. Experienced politicians, after all, got us into this mess.

Absent is maturity — that grown-up quality of leadership that is palpable when the real deal enters a room…

So, the GOP folks are being “frozen out”. At least, they won’t get any more of the blame when this “stimulus” doesn’t stimulate anything. The midterm elections are already looking more interesting…

All Too Predictable [John Derbyshire]

A wee bit of Stimulus-related chicanery, from a well-placed reader:

John — The House version of the bill apparently had a requirement that business recipients of stimu-moolah use E-verify when they hired, to make sure that the jobs being created did not go to folks who are not here legitimately, job creation being, after all, the ostensible point of the undertaking. The Senate quietly snipped that bit out of its version.
Is anyone surprised by this? The notion that actual U.S. citizens have any special claim on the federal government’s attention, is long gone. Ours is a government of the whole world. For it to privilege U.S. citizens in any way would be nativist. (Everybody jump up on nearest chair, clutch skirts, and shriek.)
