You know, I love Charles Krauthammer. I’ve had some beefs with him gettin’ all snotty & establishment Republican lately, but on the whole, I love the guy. (When he sneers, he looks exactly like the cartoon Grinch, doesn’t he? Weren’t they totally separated at birth?)
I happened to see him say what is excerpted below, live, on Special Report last night and thought then it was pitch-perfect. Now The Blaze has posted it, along with the video clip, for the same reason.
Enjoy.
“No one is asking him to go out there and be a cheerleader. But when you call your own country lazy when you are abroad and call it unambitious and soft when you are home, I think what you are showing is nothing but ill-concealed contempt. Obama is ready to blame everybody except himself for the lousy economy. The lack of investment? Why are people reluctant to invest? We have the highest corporate tax rate in the world, in the industrialized world. Obama has spoken about it. One issue on which the Republicans would have agreed on is lowering that rate, eliminating the loopholes (and) in three years in office, he has done nothing. Trying to shut down $1 billion plant (Boeing) that was (already) constructed, as a favor to an Obama union ally; people look abroad and say ‘this isn’t a place I want to do business.’ It’s his issues, his overregulation over taxation. All the red tape he has added. Now he blames Americans’ laziness? Unseemly. “
