Pat Buchanan: Feel Good Politics

Buchanan on Barack Obama’s “a lollipop in every hand” politics:

Barack Obama wins standing ovations from liberal Democrats by pledging to double foreign aid. Thus, under President Obama, the U.S. government will borrow from China and Japan $50 billion each year to subsidize regimes in Africa, putting our kids in hock forever, so we can feel good about ourselves.

Meanwhile, soft-headed Canadians are urging the Canadian government to pass out more blank cheques with which African dictators will purchase additional assault rifles and to sign a silly international treaty that will obligate the government to add billions more to the Indian Enrichment Project kitty.

Not that the government is much better. Hundred of millions spent on…what? Equipment purchased for the purpose of continuing to pretend to solve tribal disputes in desert wastelands half-way across the world? And then a couple million more to fund the compassionate enterprises of mid-eastern terrorists.

That’s okay. I feel fantastic about myself.
