WSJ's Henninger: 'Obama's Creeping Authoritarianism'


No this is not a headline from The Onion, story at the libertarian-right Newsmax.

No one who believes "We are out of money now” can ultimately be authoritarian, this reference at the conservative American Spectator:
In a story played up by the Drudge Report but virtually ignored by the New York Times and Washington Post, C-SPAN’s Steve Scully pointed to the massive financial obligations taken on by his administration and to America’s generally lousy financial forecast. He asked Obama, “At what point do we run out of money?”
“Well…” the U.S. president began with his practiced nod to the unhurried, unflappable style of Ronald Reagan.
Then he said it: “We are out of money now.”
He tried that classic Obama workaround, essentially conceding the opposition’s point then sidestepping it to advance his own vision. “We are operating in deep deficits, not caused by any decisions we’ve made on health care so far,” he said.
President Obama is not ultimately authoritarian at all.
