As the economy flatlines and stocks crater, the Pied Piper of hope and change leads us over a cliff while blowing out birthday candles at the White House and snuffing out America's future...IBD
On Thursday, in honor of Barack Obama's 50th birthday, the Dow dropped 10 points for every year he has walked among us. It was the ninth-largest drop in history. We should be relieved he wasn't turning 80...Mark Steyn
From where I sit, President Obama might be older but he sure isn't wiser...Aaron Goldstein, American Spectator
For his 50th birthday, President Obama danced barefoot in the Rose Garden with a group of friends on Thursday. The stock market had just closed at a two-year low, so the posh White House shindig was kept off the schedule. No photographers were allowed to capture images of celebrities and wealthy Democratic Party leaders living it up while the economy sinks just outside double-dip territory...Emily Miller, Washington Times
You take your 50th birthday and you start hanging out with donors. I'm hoping that somebody gives him a tea cake for his birthday. You think he'd appreciate that? Probably not after this week. And I would remind the president that he's in Illinois. It's a Democratic state. And they have a candle extinguishment surcharge tax. So 50 candles, I think, comes out $300 bucks a candle. Something like $15k to blow that cake out, Mr. President...Dennis Miller
