Style Notes

I thought they said he wasn’t a socialist. I guess what they meant was, Euro-style social engineering and massive federally funded featherbedding doesn’t count. Whatever it is, this is not your grandfather’s New Deal.  Quick style notes: 

Broder on the new politics of the new New Deal in the post-political era.

Will on American-style socialism’s long-term problems. Surber with a cautionary tale from Down Under-style socialism

Barone: Forget the culture war. Attack the Euro-style socialism.

Distinctly American twist on Eastern Euro-style socialism, looks like Obama wants to control the rights to his Cult of Personality … by controlling the use of the presidential visage.

What’s the point of socialism if you can’t protect the jobs of people who don’t deserve them? Powerline on the Obama admin’s quick payoff to unions.

Socialismizing in style! That’s wicked Euro. WPost on Daschle’s do as we say approach to taxation, plus politically correct profiteering. Malkin’s unhappy about the GOP chickens watching that henhouse. Riehl: Either Daschle goes, or McConnell and Boehner do.

Congress gives itself $93,000 more in petty cash per head. Because spending other people’s money isn’t cheap.

10 percent cut at the Pentagon in wartime? Quick FDR check, please.

Topics: Europe, Obama, pols
