Jackson Diehl makes ridiculous Obama-Bush comparison

What is with Washington Post editorial writers?

Editorial page editor Fred Hiatt not only remains an unrepentant war hawk on Iraq, he defends columnists’ stupidity and mendacity, such as George Will’s lies about climate change.

Now, along comes Jackson Diehl, claiming President Barack Obama is in the same spot President Goerge Bush was after 9/11.

And, he claims Obama is doing the same things wrong, starting with his proposed funding for housing and healthcare not requiring more “sacrifice” of Americans.

Excuuuusssseeee me?

1. We’re in a recession; jobs and earnings are being sacrificed for many of us right now?

2. Healthcare? That’s already been cut, or outrightly sacrificed, for many of us by our employers.

Diehl then goes on to blame Obama for the lack of bipartisanship.

Even by WaPost standards, this is diving in the drained shallow end of the pool.
