In the Ditch

Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. – Proverbs 12:18

I just read an interesting piece from Politico about Barack Obama’s favorite metaphor. Everyone knows about the car in the ditch. It’s supposed to be our economy, wrecked by Republicans, and somehow rescued by democrats. As Obama storms across the nation to help democrats from being clobbered this fall, a couple of sentences have grown into several paragraphs. Who knows, by October, he’ll have enough nonsense to write another book.

Obama’s rhetoric certainly isn’t bringing healing to a nation beset with economic woes. His recklessness has inflamed all Americans on any number of issues. I hope there’s a wise Republican waiting in the wings to end Obama’s reign of terror.
