Try your best to contain your disappointments until then .
One could not but notice the nebulous nature of the President's ' Win the Future ' program from his SOTU speech . His inspiration must have been Jerry Ford's memorable ' Whip inflation Now ' , which brought us WIN Buttons to help us uh Win , or something .
This 'WTF ' program has all the focus of that ' Thrive in Tucson ' campaign retread , ( T shirts still available ) , which was supposed to mean something memorable too .If striving to thrive for change was the intended target , It missed , ( uh left of the mark as usual ) . Krauthammmer's exit line in his column on the SOTU , which I will end with , is on American aspirations , which he asserts , are in decline , as is the country .
Yes " Our " Sputnik moment (?) , sputtered when NASA prioritized muslim outreach efforts and GW education while eschewing actual spaceflight .
The contrast between this SOTU w John Kennedy's quest for the moon is illustrated when the President's shining example of America's greatness is a single shingle Company , selling subsidized solar .
Big whoop as they say .
Never in Presidential history has a program like ' Win The Future had a more appropriate acronym .
WTF indeed .
Or as Krauthammer put it ....."From the moon landing to solar shingles. Is there a better example of American decline?"
Having additional material on this , I will link to the Letter to the editor that started today's kerfuffle where my comments above will be found on page 2 there . I will also link Krauthammer's piece .
