Promises, Promises

'Mr. Obama has promised

things he simply cannot do...'
Ben Stein, Senior Editor, The American

Spectator Ben Stein's Diary  
Promises, Promises
By Ben Stein

A few more humble notes for Mr. Obama about where we are today...

During the run up to the recent Congressional elections, I was on Larry King Live with a super smart man whose name I have forgotten. Larry asked a smart question. The question was, "Is Barack Obama a better campaigner than a President?" One of the men on the panel said, "Of course he is. When he is campaigning, all he has to do is promise things. When he's President, he actually has to do things."

The same is true for all politicians, but the problem is acute for Mr. Obama because he has promised things he simply cannot do.


There be witches here!
