Children at Play

The Pretender in Chief at the White House dressed as a "Ward Cleaver" proto-Dad" while his bride appeared in cat costume for Halloween. Not to let a small thing like two wars including the deadliest month for American forces in Afghanistan under the indecisive one's restrictive rules of engagement, increased mission tempo, and wider areas where Obama decided to contest Taliban control, spoil a good party, the White House was turned spooky orange under kettle lights. No 249.85 drop in the market, the largest one day decline since April, could stop the planned celebration for the Obama children (and I do not refer to Sasha and Malia- I mean all four of them). Unemployment at ten percent (probably in reality over fifteen) could not slow down the All Hallows' Eve fete. The preview of public option care we are seeing with long-lines waiting for government-rationed H1N1 vaccine in a simple manufacture and distribution scheme that the Obama administration can not even get right did not deter in any way the production that had to be perfect for the kids first Halloween in the White House- we well remember how essential stagecraft is to this false front crowd that brought Greek columns to the Denver acceptance speech. When all you have to offer is smoke and mirrors, you had better dazzle with the "show". So the young usurper had a fantastic evening with the Nero fiddle, the grand feast, and probably some candy which will be a forbidden item subject to a government "sin tax" under the new public care regime. No matter the chaos and degeneration the President is presiding over, Obama seems determined to party on and have a hell of a time in office. My, would it not be nice to see some adults back in the White House?
