Quote of the day

Shikha Dalmia:

Americans elected Obama because he presented himself as a fiscally responsible adult who -- in contrast to his predecessor -- was interested in looking for workable, pragmatic solutions, not promoting an ideological agenda. But Obama pulled a massive bait-and-switch upon assuming office, using every issue--the financial meltdown, the recession, the deficit, global warming and, of course, rising health care costs--to expand the scope and size of government.

Exactly right.
