Bush’s deficit spending bad? Think again.

Yeah I’m on a financial roll. This is interesting though. Karl Rove in the WSJ:

Mr. Obama cannot dismiss critics by pointing to President George W. Bush’s decision to run $2.9 trillion in deficits while fighting two wars and dealing with 9/11 and Katrina. Mr. Obama will surpass Mr. Bush’s eight-year total in his first 20 months and 11 days in office, adding $3.2 trillion to the national debt. If America “cannot and will not sustain” deficits like Mr. Bush’s, as Mr. Obama said during the campaign, how can Mr. Obama sustain the geometrically larger ones he’s flogging?

Can a Christian vote for Obama?

The answer, as with so much, is, of course, yes. Would it be a biblical vote? Not at all. Obama’s pro-abortion stance is so obnoxiously obvious, it is beyond me why anyone just slightly concerned by over one million dead babies every year would even consider it.

I found a very good and well written article by Robert P. George of Princeton University. It came my way via the Triablogue crowd. It’s somewhat long, which may turn people off who are used to reading blogs instead of books, but it’s well worth the read.
