Obama's own efficiency study!

Had an odd sense of deja vu when I saw President-elect Barack Obama promising to save taxpayers "billions" of dollars by cutting wasteful spending.

What did that remind me of? Oh, that's right! It reminded me of then-candidate Steve Beshear promising over a year ago that he would save Kentucky up to $180 million a year in efficiencies.

What are the odds the national media will let Obama slide the way Kentucky's has given Gov. Beshear a pass?

Given the state of the economy and the world, not only the media but the public will cut Obama some slack.

Most people recognize that we are in perilous economic times, brought on by conservative, Republican deregulation economics. It was a prescription for failure, contrary to American values. Republicans are reaping what they sowed.

Nice partisan distraction, Hempy. I thought you guys were post-partisan.
