This Administration would do well to study George Santayana or at the very least his caution to the historically ignorant.

Three times Jimmy Carter tried to pitch higher taxes and less energy to the American people and three times he failed miserably, notwithstanding also having large majorities in Congress. Reduce...

Americans then did not see what was in it for them, despite being attacked by the elites. Thirty years later, once again the American people do not see what is in Obamacare for them, despite again being attacked and ridiculed by the elites.

They know Obamacare means higher taxes, rationed health care and new arrogant bureaucrats to make their lives miserable.

But there is a deeper problem here than simply failing to study history.

This Administration is addicted to public relations.


To a person, they are all pretty and look good on television but all their answers come in the form of more speeches,

more press conferences, more public relations. Motion over action. Politics over policy. Naiveté over knowledge.

They seem to perfectly represent the Facebook generation; selfish, self-congratulatory and self-absorbed.

Claiming to care while using other people time and money to show they care, all the time beating their chests yelling, "See, I care!"

Yet in the crowd there is a little boy asking, "Where is the substance?"
