Robert J. Samuelson is a weekly columnist for The Post, writing on political, economic and social issues. His column appears on Wednesdays.
Samuelson joined The Post on the business desk in 1969. In 1976 he became an economic reporter for National Journal, where he began a weekly column, which began appearing in The Post in 1977. In 1984, Samuelson became a columnist for Newsweek.
In other words, no one can call him a 'Teabag Person', or 'AstroTurf' and pass the laugh test.
He is not amused by ObamaCare.
The disconnect between what President Obama says and what he's doing is so glaring that most people could not abide it. The president, his advisers and allies have no trouble. But reconciling blatantly contradictory objectives requires them to engage in willful self-deception, public dishonesty, or both.
This from an icon of the East Coast Media.
What are Obama and Pelosi to do? Do they put Samuelson on the enemies list? Do they declare The Washington Post 'not a news organization'?
The wheels, blessedly, may be coming off the train. There is hope yet.
