I Was Worried

I was worried that the current administration was in the process of getting the budget very wrong indeed when I read that Andrew Sullivan is back to blogging. I rushed to his site to see what pearls of wisdom he had and found this:

To all those under 30 who worked so hard to get this man elected, know this: he just screwed you over. He thinks you're fools. Either the US will go into default because of Obama's cowardice, or you will be paying far far more for far far less because this president has no courage when it counts. He let you down. On the critical issue of America's fiscal crisis, he represents no hope and no change. Just the same old Washington politics he once promised to end.

And was immediately reassured. Sullivan has been wrong about every important issue about which he has ever written anything, to say nothing of being consistently wrong when undertakes to discuss political process. So to modify Runyun's old saw about betting on the fastest and the strongest as a guide for pundits, it might not be the case that Sullivan is wrong this time but that's the way to bet.
