ORSZAG DOESN’T ZIG


Give Peter Orszag (Director, Office of Management and budget in the Obama Administration) credit; when confronted by George Stephanopoulos about the fact that their budget projections were followed by the release of the drop in gross national product development last quarter he had the best answer anyone could give. He said “isn’t it a good idea that we acted so quickly” because this sore doesn’t get any better if you don’t treat it (not with voodoo economics but) with antibiotic economics.

ERIC CANTOR (R-VA) - A PONZI SCHEME OR A FONZI SCHEME


All of us who followed Happy Days remember Fonzi could never say or pronounce the word w-r-o-n-g. He would say w-r…but he couldn’t pronounce the word. Well, Cantor couldn’t pronounce his condemnation of Rush Limbaugh. He said no one wants this President to fail, but at the end of his interview with George Stephanopoulos, he was asked specifically about the “Rush Limbaugh politics” and rather than condemn Rush and say the word “wrong” he just kept repeating “no one wants this President to fail”. This is definitely a Fonzi scheme.

WHERE “THIS WEEK” IS WEAK


The program “This Week with George Stephanopoulos” is growing in prestige and importance and will soon be on the level of Meet the Press. But when interviewing Republicans they consistently forget the ask the 2 most important questions.
1. When discussing small business, Mr. Stephanopoulos keeps forgetting to mention that fact that one of the first actions of George W. Bush was to cut the small business bureau in half.
2. When they criticize the budget of President Obama, he fails to respond religiously that Bush’s budget didn’t include the Iraq war at all, could it get any more misleading than that? Additionally, he should point out that 90% of debt in this country happened under Reagan, Bush 41 and Bush 43.

So while we love the program, there are some areas in which “This Week” is weak.
