Obama's Toxicity Index
By Jed Babbin on 11.22.10 @ 6:09AM

Too many pundits and pols are trying to tell us how tough it's going to be for Senate Democrats in two years. They'll have to run with Barack Obama hugging the line next to them on the ballot. And we'll be able to forecast the results by measuring how toxic their relation with Barry was.

In Jimmy's time, when you added the inflation rate to the percentage of Americans who were unemployed, the sum was what Carter called the "misery index." Carter so pursued disaster so conscientiously that by the time he was tossed out, the misery index was over twenty. Reagan cut it in half. It shrank to single digits under W, but Barry has boosted it back over 10.

Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke has decided to slip a new "stimulus" package past Congress -- it's called "quantitative easing" -- which will drive inflation up by pumping more fiat currency into the system. So we can look forward to Jimmy's misery index rising inexorably at least as long as Barry is in the White House.

But Jimmy's misery index is not an adequate measure of American misery brought about by Obama's economic and foreign policy disasters. How can we derive a 21st century measure of just how much worse -- and how much weaker -- we are?

We already know that Obama isn't going to follow Clinton's example and move toward the center. He's insisting on ratifying the awful "START" arms control agreement with Russia and repealing "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" both in the lame duck session. And Obama is also unwilling to compromise on maintaining the Bush-era tax cuts.

We're behind you 100% on this Barry...

 

Go ahead and Double Down!

 

Like this sandwich... your Toxicity Index will be off the charts...

 

 

BTW, Michelle... this is for your salad bar.

NCTexan! Actually, that's not such a bad sandwich. I usually get two, one to eat in and one for the road.
