45. Krauthammer has a vast array of explanations for things that go wrong (in his mind)

Fri Dec 28, 2012, 01:38 PM

Dec 2012

It is January, 2009. General Motors is in dire trouble. So are the Banks.
It's Obama's fault.
The new administration gets a rescue package in the form of a stimulus passed. The deficit goes up temporarily.
It's Obama's fault.
The stimulus/rescue works. GM is saved. The banks and AIG, too.
It's Obama's fault.
Bin Laden is still on the loose.
It's Obama's fault.
Bin Laden is caught and put out of circulation permanently.
It's Obama's fault.
Our former nemesis Qadaffi is still in power.
It's Obama's fault.
Qaddafi is removed from power.
It's Obama's fault.
Congressional Republicans block virtually every initiative and appointment proposed by Obama
It's Obama's fault
Republicans fall apart over how to best thwart Obama in his new term.
It's Obama's fault.

One might be forgiven for wondering if Krauthammer is not a computer program with the same answer for everything.
