Just seven weeks into his presidency, Barack “Corleone” Obama has gone to the mattresses. His administration has lunged ruthlessly for the jugulars of its critics. His cabinet has more tax cheats than McKellys in a Dublin phone book. Crackdown on lobbyists? Fahgettaboudit. Earmark reform? We don’t need no stinking earmark reform. “Today,” the new don pontificates, “I settle all family business” — e.g., nationalizing the energy industry, socializing the health care system, and federalizing American education.

Obama has parasitically used a correctable housing bubble burst and banking crises to power-grab and commit the country to more spending than at any other time in our history. That upcoming Roland Emmerich movie entitled 2012 is supposed to be about the impending end of the world. But Hollywood doomsday may not be necessary; if this keeps up until 2012, Tic Tacs will cost about $60.

In short, Obama is scaring the hell out of everyone...

[what's up]

It is beneath the office of the presidency to go after a citizen on such a personal level, using political surrogates to mock a man’s weight

And let's not forget the crack to Matt Lauer about Jessica Simpson being overweight.

Ugh.

[a fool in paradise]

As if we expected someone raised under the Rat Machine of corrupt Chicago politics to behave any differently than this...

FTA: largely due to the seeds of anxiety Obama sewed into the market

Hmmmm...did Obama use needle and thread? I think the author means 'sowed' but a better turn would have been: ....largely due to the seeds of market anxiety sown by Obama.
