Never let it be said
that Obama takes governing seriously

Last night President Barack Obama spoke at two “star-studded” Hollywood
fundraisers. And, according to Politco, he noted to a group of people
who make their quite nice livings in theatrics that “people … like …
poetry” rather than the “prose” of governing.
Mentioning former New York Gov. Mario Cuomo’s quip that politicians
campaign in poetry and govern in prose, Obama said he’s written more of
the latter than the former in his first three years in office. ”We’ve
been slogging through prose for the last three years,” he said.
“People, they like the poetry.”
Monday night, I did a radio show opposite a Democrat. The Democrat made
very clear that he viewed the budget that the President released on
Monday as an entirely political document. It made no claim to solving
any long-term problems faced by the country. According to this
consultant, the primary purpose of the budget was to make an argument
about “fairness” and “who should pay.”
We are in the midst of poetry, I fear. And, as President Obama once
said, it is all “just words.”
