Credit the Prez

The Chosen One unabashedly continues to claim credit for having "created or saved _____ jobs." The president and his minions can and do fill in the blank with any number they choose. You and everyone else can do the same. There's no way that it can be proved or disproved that the job of any employed American was or was not saved by the world's greatest teleprompter reader.

By the same token our glorious leader can claim credit for having warded off nuclear war, an infectious plague and a deadly meteor strike, none of which occurred on his watch . . . and therefore, as was noted in today's Wall Street Journal Best of the Web column, you can go ahead and applaud those accomplishments. Further praise will become due each and every day in the future that the earth continues to rotate on its axis and the sun therefore does not fail to rise.  

On the other hand, don't ever entertain the notion that any job loss or other misfortune may be due to any action or lack of action by the administration.
