I’m quite disappointed in the subjectivity of this Times article. Despite it being placed in the OPED section, it is more of a joke than an actual message evaluating Washington’s shortcomings.

“Once they were called civil servants, but after the barrage of taxpayer-funded bailouts, they may be more properly seen as “civil masters.”

These individuals are the intellectual whores who graduated from Harvard, Yale, Columbia and other of our so-called elite universities. They could care less about what is either true or false. It is simply a matter of placing their wet finger into the air to see which way the wind is blowing. The most important existential question dominating their life is this one: “Will it look good on my resume?” In back of their minds, they help those within their inner circle while expecting the same in return. These fools were behind the ridiculous politically correct policy of forcing lending institutions to provide mortgages to minorities possessing poor credit histories. Most of our national economic troubles are due to their shenanigans. Never forget that the shallow, poorly read and arrogant Barack Obama received his law degree from Harvard. What more do you need to know?

What is Keynesian economics? This is merely a subtle way of claiming that the “benevolent and well educated elites” should be running things. They are to be our masters for own alleged good. And these disgusting folks will do everything possible to destroy those who dare get in their way.

I grew up in Ward 3!! I remember a mayorial election in which Marion Barry. Naturally he won. Now this sounds almost impossible when I think about it and I wonder if my memory is faulty, but I seem to recall that Barry received only 8 votes from Ward 3. Anyway, after the election was over, Barry had something to say to the citizens of Ward 3 – “Get over it.” HAHAHA!!! What a statesman!! I was always embarrassed that I lived in a city that consistently elected someone like Marion Barry. I now live in Boston. I’m not too impressed with my elected officials here either though.

Unfortunately, you are exactly right. My wife’s first evaluation of Obama was ‘another Jimmy Carter only 10 times worse.’ I think it was and is accurate
