Obama's "Queen for a Day" Speech

We've had the "race" speech, the "Greek temple" speech, and tonight the "Queen for a Day" speech (thank you Don Surber for that very appropriate description):

So tonight, Obama has to seal the deal. He will trot out the tried-and-true Democratic Party ploy of sob sister stories to try to sell the need for Bigger Government to protect you from all those “negative liberties” in the Constitution.

Boo hoo hoo.

It is “Queen for a Day” all over again.

All we need is an Applause Meter and some Amana refrigerators to give to the winning contestant.

And Jack Bailey.

Obama leaked his infomercial to the New York Times, which reported that he will say: “We’ve been talking about the same problems for decades and nothing is ever done to solve them. For the past 20 months, I’ve traveled the length of this country, and Michelle and I have met so many Americans who are looking for real and lasting change that makes a difference in their lives.”

4 stories will be trotted out.

I’m curious at just how bad off these 4 families can be.

We already have welfare, Medicaid, SCHIP, food stamps, housing vouchers, transportation vouchers, heating bills assistance, air conditioning assistance, tax write-offs for donating cars to the poor, EITC and dozens of more programs.

What possibly more can taxpayers do to eliminate any hint of hardship to anyone every waking moment of the day?

And will the press give the 4 families the same vetting that Palin and Joe received?

We shall see how this thing plays out. I will live blog on the Obama “Queen for a Day” spectacular.

If you're not old enough to remember "Queen for a Day", it featured various women given these terrible stories about the tragedies in their lives - sort of like the Democrat Convention. The person who elicited the most sympathy from the audience was the winner.

Perhaps Obama should name this informercial "America's Pity Party".

Me, I'll be watching something else.
