Charles Krauthammer at the Washington Post puts a finger on recent news out of Washington, tying together the frayed ends of Obama administration policy. Krauthammer, like many of us, recognizes the inconsistencies in the Obama administration. Like a traveling band of actors, they seem most willing to adjust their show to most please the audience at hand.
Krauthammer writes,
To flatter his faith-breakfast guests and justify his tax policies,
Obama declares good works to be the essence of religiosity. Yet he turns
around and, through Sebelius, tells the faithful who engage in good
works that what they’re doing is not religion at all. You want to do
religion? Get thee to a nunnery. You want shelter from the power of the
state? Get out of your soup kitchen and back to your pews. Outside,
Leviathan rules.
The contradiction is glaring, the hypocrisy
breathtaking. But that’s not why Obama offered a hasty compromise on
Friday. It’s because the firestorm of protest was becoming a threat to
his re-election. Sure, health care, good works and religion are
important. But re-election is divine.
