Labor DayI flew to Dallas today to give a
speech. The flight was uneventful except for a woman seated in
front of me who started talking at about 2 PM PDT and did not stop
talking at all -- not once -- for the whole flight. How can she do
that? She talked for four solid hours.
I checked into my wonderful hotel, the Gaylord Texan, and watched a show on Nat Geo about a man from America put into prison in the Soviet in 1976 for trafficking in heroin. Scary, but what a dope he was.
Then, a show on MSNBC hosted by my old pal, Chris Matthews, about Barack Obama. It was an extremely laudatory show, about how Mr. Obama tapped into all of young America's wish to have Hope and Change rule the land.
Mr. Obama's shining desire to have Hope and Change guide our politics was -- supposedly -- what got him elected.
Now, I know Chris Matthews. He is a very pleasant, smart, articulate man. Can he really say that Mr. Obama has brought about Hope and Change? What has he changed? We are far poorer than when he took office. Our national debt is far higher. We are still in a hopeless war in Afghanistan. Black people are still very much less well off than white people. What has Mr. Obama done that's good?
