The Snark of the Day, from George Will, Washington Post, via Eric, Viking Pundit [1]:
Barack Obama, the first president shaped by the celebratory culture in which every child who plays soccer gets a trophy and the first whose campaign speeches were his qualification for the office, perhaps should not be blamed for thinking that saying things is tantamount to accomplishing things, and that good intentions are good deeds. So, his presidency is useful after all, because it illustrates the perils of government run by believers in magic words and numbers.
Who knew President Fifty Seven States would have such a problem with numbers.
