Quote of the Day II

Economist Robert Samuelson, a columnist for Newsweek, writing about our President's response to the dilemmas posed by our government deficit:

Obama urges an "adult" conversation and acts like a child, denying the unappealing choices.

Comparing the Democrats' whining to Rep. Ryan's GOP budget plan, Samuelson concludes:

Ryan is a model of intellectual rigor and political courage.

It remains to be seen whether this courage will cause the electorate to recoil in horror from the GOP.
