Obama pledges to slash deficit

Errr...Say What!?!?

Just what part of a $2 trillion dollar bailout is cutting a deficit?

This only leads me to wonder whether Rockefeller's man in the White House has been on the George Orwell again:

Doublethink

The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them....To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.
Will someone please pinch me to check I'm not dreaming in a padded cell somewhere? Never mind the Orwell; this President is becoming more like a cheap character from an Ayn Rand novel, with every passing day.

UPDATE: And here's one American, Alan Keyes, who agrees with me:



Fantastic!
