Listening to Obama's San Francisco speech where he talked about getting a mop to clean up the mess he inherited, I thought of Disney's animation "The Sorcerer's Apprentice". The Sorcerer hands Mickey Mouse a mop and bucket and tells him to clean up the castle, but Mickey decides to take a short cut. He puts on the Sorcerer’s hat and orders the mop to do the cleaning for him. It starts off well, but pretty soon gets out of control with buckets of water sloshing everywhere. This is an apt metaphor for the Obama administration. It started off well but is now out of control. We are spending trillions of dollars and accomplishing virtually nothing. Unemployment is heading into double digits. The dollar continues to fall. Our foreign policy is confused and indecisive and our stature as a great power is declining. Obama is making a mess of things. He does not know how to use the power given to him.
