If you haven't read "The Forgotten Man" do so now as Amity Schlaes' brilliant tome shows how closely Obama mirrors the activities of the Roosevelt administration. He too, was a socialist and put the country through years of uncertainty and stagnation. Particularly galling was all the federal money directed towards what could only be called propaganda. The WPA was directed to show how bad it was for people and how well the government was helping.

From an incredulous website about a Depression-era history lesson: "Like other New Deal remedies, however, the arts programs endured controversy. Critics charged that these programs were wasteful, amateurish, or that they flagrantly promoted the New Deal agenda and radical politics." Hmm...any resemblance?

"Then we'll laugh at him."
