Every time our DogCatcher in Chief steps out in a non-campaign-like setting he always has some form of policy bodyguard. The other day, he's out there flanked by Biden and Geithner. Or flags. Or some new summit of experts. I find it troubling. I am a child of Holcaust survivors. Every one of his public appearances begins to look more and more like an imitation fascist rally with all those power thug symbols.
That's just the packaging. The substance of Obama's plans to reduce our liberty -- limiting our economic and personal choices; raising the cost of our electricity; making government a "partner" (and not a silent one) in ever more endeavors (as if gover nment regulations on how to label plums originating in Northern California wasn't a big enough waste of time and taxpayer money, but who ever thought we would find those regulatiins to be "benign?"), I am getting more and more nervous that we will have the thought police patrolling our neighborhoods, without any dissent in the media which thinks it is actually independent. Am I too paranoid? .
