Rosenberg &#8212; Director of Policy for <a href="http://www.israelpolicyforum.org/" target="_blank">Israel Policy Forum</a> or something &#8212; over at TPM Cafe is really feeling exceptionally gloaty this morning.</p>
<p>Ordinarily, I just skip right over posts like this in my Google Reader, but <a href="http://tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/05/18/a_truly_glorious_monday/" target="_blank">this one was so thick with liberal partisan self-satisfaction</a> that I practically got splattered with patchouli-smelling schadenfreude as I scrolled past it&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>I was just reading the rightist blogs on the President&#039;s triumph at Notre Dame. These are really the worst of time for the bad guys. And it is critically important that we enjoy their misery because it may not last forever. (On the other hand, it might)&#8230;</p>
<p>These guys are in agony. They are living their worst nightmare. Not only is a liberal Democrat in the White House, but he&#039;s the reincarnation of FDR. He&#039;s politically deft. He&#039;s popular. He has a beautiful family. He has the supreme confidence of a JFK and the political skills of Clinton but without the character flaws. And, like FDR, and LBJ, he intends to transform America.</p></blockquote>
<p>Muahahahahahahahaha! Nothing can possibly go wrong! Why, we haven&#039;t seen one political party so completely dominate the other since&#8230; since&#8230; four years ago when the Republicans plowed over the Democrats so badly that many thought liberalism was completely dead! And that victory lasted forever!</p>
<p>It&#039;s pure Democratic gold, I tells ya!  Pure Democratic gold!</p>
<p><em>Tune in tomorrow when we discover that President Obama has been conducting a long-term sexual relationship with an underage, male, Swine Flu-infected Chupacabra.</em></p>

Michele Bachmann on Monday.</p>
<p>And when the information went inside her brain, it got lost, part of it was eaten by a bear, and what finally managed to stumble out of her mouth on the floor of Congress sounded like&#8230; well, <a href="http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/04/historian-michele-bachmann-blames-fdrs-hoot-smalley-tariffs-for-great-depression.php" target="_blank">like regular Michele Bachmann talk</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>On Monday night, our friends at Dump Bachmann <a href="http://dumpbachmann.blogspot.com/2009/04/bachmann-wants-to-bring-back-roaring.html">reported</a>, Bachmann took to the House floor and paid tribute to the economic policies of Calvin Coolidge and the &#034;Roaring 20s&#034; (the era that ended with a massive monetary contraction and the Great Depression).</p>
<p>One particular line really does stand out, though &#8212; saying Franklin Roosevelt turned a recession into a depression through <strong>the &#034;Hoot-Smalley&#034; tariffs</strong>&#8230;</p></blockquote>
<p>Yeah, those Hoot Smalley tariffs sure were a problem. I wonder how many people were forced into the lead brines because of them.</p>

<p>Sure, President Obama has downplayed the importance of the event. Senior Advisor David Axelrod even called it a &#034;Hallmark holiday,&#034; thereby belittling other Hallmark holidays like Grandparents Day and Administrative Professionals Day.</p>
<p>But ever since gaining those dead pirate points, Obama can only win support from the media coverage, and so Obama will &#034;<a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0409/21738_Page2.html" target="_blank">pay homage to his 100 days with a Wednesday trip to&#8230; Missouri</a>,&#034; the state where every exciting thing ever happens.</p>
<p>In honor of the landmark, we decided to celebrate Obama&#039;s milestone by over-oversimplifying it further and boiling it down to a nice simple chart comparing President Obama&#039;s first 100 days to the accomplishments of history&#039;s most famous presidents in such a way that even an idiot could understand&#8230;</p>

<td width="153" valign="top">Strengthening   the false concept that if they work hard and studied in school, any child can   grow up to become future president.</td>

<p><em>or</em></p>
<p><strong>Most Like:</strong> Bush who strengthened the true concept that if they did enough coke and drove   enough drunk, any child of a former president can grow up to become future   cowboy president.</td>

<td width="153" valign="top">Invited   gay families to the White House Easter Egg hunt, figuring, who better to find   decorative balls than gay fathers.</td>

<td width="131" valign="top"><strong>Dog   Ownership</strong></td>
<td width="153" valign="top">Acquired   Bo, the dog, as promised to his daughters, stating in his acceptance speech,   &#034;you&#039;ve earned the new puppy.&#034;</td>
<td width="139" valign="top"><strong>Most Like:</strong> Nixon who claimed Checkers the dog was his only election gift, presumably   stating, &#034;I&#039;ll tolerate this new puppy,&#034; while shaking his head and   making the peace sign with both hands.</td>
</tr>
<tr>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-7923" src="http://blog.indecision2008.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2008/12/joebiden.jpg" alt="" width="175" height="253" align="right" />There’s nothing wrong with impolitic, gaffe-prone Vice President Joe Biden that a well-timed honking horn, quacking duck, or fog horn wouldn’t cure, <a href="http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0309/20101.html" target="_blank">or at least, soften</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>In a 20-minute speech in the lobby of the Corcoran Gallery of Art, Biden said President Obama &#034;has inherited the most difficult first 100 days of any president, I would argue, including Franklin Roosevelt.&#034;</p></blockquote>
<p><em>Honk. Quack. Aooooga.</em></p>
<p>See? It&#039;s all better. Granted, he was defending his boss, a man he makes grimace more than a country club full of AIG robber barons. But it’s a lame defense.</p>
<p>Seriously, Joe, sometimes you remind me of a cross between the oracle in 300 and the father of a girl I was dating in high school, who met me in his underwear and asked if I was &#034;packing&#034; condoms. ,</p>
<p>The problem with claiming our current Hobopocalypse is somehow worse than the existential economic flattening that happened in the 1930’s is that it’s a patently dishonest rhetorical tool. It’s really no different than the Bush Administration telling Americans that the War on Terror was somehow equitable to World War II. Apples and oranges, industrialized, fully militarized Nazi Germany and Middle Eastern rednecks with attack camels.</p>
<p>It&#039;s revisionist, drama-queen hyperbole. There are huge differences between the Great Depression and our current crisis. For instance, bank deposits weren’t insured, 25% of Americans were unemployed, and &#034;dollar menus&#034; were called &#034;soup kitchens&#034; where scalding hot boot leather bisque was ladled directly into your mouth.  Plus, cannibal newsies pitchfork fought in the streets.</p>
<p>Economic meltdowns aren&#039;t competitions. We aren&#039;t reliving The Great Depression, or The Greatest Depression. This is our own, unique, special mess. Most likely, it&#039;s just The I Will Rent Forever, Never Pay Off Student Loans, And Eat Nothing But Easy Mac, God This Sucks Balls Recession. And that is good enough for me.</p>

Xavier Robillard explains why <a href="http://www.alldaycoffee.net/story.php/206" target="_blank">such a big deal is being made of Obama&#039;s first 100 days</a>&#8230;</p>
<blockquote><p>[A]t the time of our country&#039;s founding, back in 1776, years were much shorter &#8212; twenty-five days to be exact &#8212; so an entire four-year presidential term lasted 100 days. It&#039;s also important because President Franklin D. Roosevelt set the gold standard for action within the first 100 days of office.</p>
<p>Within three months of being swarn in, FDR pulled America out of the Great Depression, prevented Hitler from invading Poland, personally coached Jessie Owens to win the Olympic gold and tilted over the Great Lakes to irrigate the Dust Bowl that was causing such food shortages across America.</p>
<p>But all of these feats are nothing compared to his battle with King Kong.</p></blockquote>
<p>If that&#039;s true, then I guess what Obama would have to do to measure up is have some kind of heroic battle against a gigantic animal beast.</p>
<p>But hasn&#039;t he <a href="http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/northamerica/usa/barackobama/4331839/Barack-Obama-picks-a-fight-with-Rush-Limbaugh-as-bipartisan-spirit-crumbles.html" target="_blank">already done that</a>?</p>
<p>(By the way, you can hear Mr. Robillard talking with Cube on the internet radio show <a href="http://www.blogtalkradio.com/Unusable-Signal/2009/03/15/Unusable-Signal-With-Cube" target="_blank">Unusable Signal</a>. Oh, and you can buy his book, <em>Captain Freedom &#8211; A Superhero&#039;s Quest for Truth, Justice and the Celebrity He So Richly Deserves</em>, <a href="http://www.alldaycoffee.net/cf.php" target="_blank">here</a>.)</p>
