Does he read Private Buffoon???

... well, since the news below precedes my post, I don't have much evidence that Obama is reading Private Buffoon (... tho' that doesn't prove that he doesn't!).

What I take to be good news:

Obama fires shot at Republicans on stimulus plan
by Stephen Collinson
4 Feb 2009
WASHINGTON (AFP) – President Barack Obama fired the sharpest warning of his young presidency at Republicans who are mustered against his 900-billion-dollar stimulus plan for the plunging US economy.
...
"In the past two days, I have heard criticisms of this plan that, frankly, echo the very same failed theories that helped lead us into this crisis in the first place," Obama said, before signing a children's health insurance bill.

He took aim at the "notion that tax cuts alone will solve all our problems" and warned against the idea that the economic crisis could be tackled with "half steps, and piecemeal measures and tinkering around the edges."

Obama also faulted unnamed opponents he said believe "that we can ignore the fundamental challenges like the high cost of healthcare and still expect our economy and country to thrive."

"I reject these theories, and by the way so did the American people when they went to the polls in November and voted resoundingly for change," the president said, in his most edgy partisan language in his two weeks in office.

Maybe he's just channeling me...

Whatever the source - Hooray!
