Taking a bullet train to bankruptcy.

Maureen Dowd warns that the country is taking a bullet train to bankruptcy. She goes on to say,

Though he demonstrated in the campaign that he has a rare gift for
inspiring the country with new belief in itself, Mr. Obama has not yet captured
either the grit the moment requires or the fury it provokes. He has not
explained in a compelling way why Americans who followed the rules need to
sacrifice more to help those who flouted the rules.

When Ms. Dowd takes President Obama on, that does not bode well for the new administration. Are the liberals at the New York Times having doubts about the candidate they worked so hard to elect president? The first 100 days aren't even past yet.

Ms. Dowd also attacks Obama's Attorney General for his "nation of cowards" comment. She reminds that Eric Holder showed precious little courage in standing up to Bill Clinton in the pardoning of Marc Rich.

She contends that "We need leaders to help us through our crises, not provide us with crude evaluations of our character. And we don’t need sermons from liberal virtuecrats, anymore than from conservative virtuecrats." This seems to apply to Obama as well as Holder.

Rather than provide leadership in a time of crisis, Obama and his administration seem capable only of campaign rhetoric and attacks on individuals and the public at large. When even Times writers begin writing about the problem, the honeymoon is already over long before the 100 days are past.
