The man who promised an end to the “politics of fear” took to the editorial pages to scare Americans into supporting the $1 trillion crap sandwich. Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC), recognizing the hypocrisy, goes after The One for his “leadership” on the legislation. A bit surprising, actually.

The fact that Obama’s resorted to fear-based coercion shows that he feels that he’s losing the fight. Support for the legislation has been falling, Blue Dogs are threatening to walk, and word has gotten out that there are many economists opposed to this crap sandwich.
