James Taranto has never been right about any major issue, that I can recall. He was, of course, one of the chief cheerleaders for invading Iraq. I wonder what he said about the effects of the Bush tax cuts when they were being debated? The man is a JOKE and that his drivel is still printed is astounding.

I'm sure that he's also being terribly misleading - if not lying - in the above statement. Surely he must know that the president is responding to voices - growing ever louder at the time of this speech - encouraging him to use executive power to raise the debt limit.

I'm not going to bother looking into it because Taranto has already proven the stock from which he comes many times over.

It's pathetic that anyone would consider putting any weight behind something written by someone who has been wrong about so much.
