Consistency is the Hobgoblin of Small Minds

I like the fact that the Bamster shows consistency. He says what he believes in and he is consistently on message:



Well, at least until it becomes inconvenient to do what you said you would be doing:

President To Propose Across-the-Board Spending Freeze

But, when is a spending freeze not a spending freeze?

It is also unlikely to affect the approximately $900 billion health-care bill, which has been on life-support since the Massachusetts vote. In an interview with ABC News on Monday, Obama vowed to press ahead with health care and other first-year agenda items, even it means jeopardizing his reelection chances in 2012.

So, we're going to freeze spending except on things that he wants that the American people are vocally repudiating?

And if the legislature doesn't legislate the way he dictates he is going to issue diktats to restrict what the legislature can do?

The Senate is scheduled to vote Tuesday on a plan to create a budget commission, though supporters say they lack the 60 votes needed for adoption. Obama has told lawmakers that if the measure fails, he will issue an executive order creating such a task force with broad power to change the tax code and spending on entitlement programs.

An executive order to change the tax code and spending on entitlement programs? Excuse me, there's that pesky ol' Constitution popping up again. Can anyone say, "high crimes and misdemeanors"?
