Obama's Two Clocks

On Iran, The Fierce Urgency of Let's Not Rush Anything, but on his expansions of Government power like the Waxman-Markey travesty, he couldn't even wait the promised five days for public review of the legislation. Indeed: "a physical copy of the final bill didn’t yet exist when it passed", yet CO2 impacts climate at such a slow pace that even the IPCC estimates of global warming are measures in tenths of a degree per decade.

Obama is engaged in the fierce urgency of doing something before the political pendulum swings back. And it is starting to swing, it's just a matter of how much liberalism Obama will rush to implement before it does.
