Tad DeHaven of the Cato institute is my hero for today. Throughout the Cato Institutes live blog of the State of the Union he was pulling quotes from previous SOTU addresses by George W. Bush in which Bush had said the exact same things. I’ve always said the irony of liberals hating Bush and Conservatives hating Obama is that both basically pursued the exact same policies and this offers some proof of that.
So for those who have commented or e-mailed claiming I hate Real Time Media I post this to show I’m not against it (I’m just against those who think it’s a news source)
P.S. For the record my favorite quote of the night came from Katherine Mangu-Ward of Reason.com who said…
I think they might be cheering for "pass[ing] the problem on to another generation of Americans"
(It’s funny because the timing of the applause made it seem like that was exactly what they were cheering for)
