King Hussein's Performance Review

As you know, on your job you are subject to an annual performance review. The President is no exception. One part of the review came in last night's senate election in Massachusetts. Republican Scott Brown won the seat that the late Ted Kennedy sat in for 47 years.

Here's another part of King Hussein's review. From Mort Zuckerman of The Daily Beast:

On Healthcare: "This health-care plan is going to be a fiscal disaster for the country. Most of the country wanted to deal with costs, not expansion of coverage. This is going to raise costs dramatically."

On corruption & patronage: "In the campaign, he said he would change politics as usual. He did change them. It’s now worse than it was. I’ve now seen the kind of buying off of politicians that I’ve never seen before. It’s politically corrupt and it’s starting at the top. It’s revolting.

Five states got deals on health care—one of them was Harry Reid’s. It is disgusting, just disgusting. I’ve never seen anything like it. The unions just got them to drop the tax on Cadillac plans in the health-care bill. It was pure union politics. They just went along with it. It’s a bizarre form of political corruption. It’s bribery. I suppose they could say, that’s the system. He was supposed to change it or try to change it."

On International affairs: "He’s improved America’s image in the world. He absolutely did. But you have to translate that into something. Let me tell you what a major leader said to me recently. “We are convinced,” he said, “that he is not strong enough to confront his enemy. We are concerned,” he said “that he is not strong enough to support his friends.”

The political leadership of the world is very, very dismayed. He better turn it around. The Democrats are going to get killed in this election. Jesus, looks what’s happening in Massachusetts."

On the Administration: "One business leader said to me, “In the Clinton administration, the policy people were at the center, and the political people were on the sideline. In the Obama administration, the political people are at the center, and the policy people are on the sidelines. I’m very disappointed. We endorsed him. I voted for him. I supported him publicly and privately."

King Hussein's agenda, a combination of Chicago machine politics and marxist ideology, has turned off a lot of people, including many who voted for him. What has happened in Virginia, New Jersey, and Massachusetts shows that the people who voted for him in '08 are voting against him and his party now. (HT The Daily Beast):
