The first time I heard it

It was March 5, around 6:25 pm EST. That's when I finally heard a pundit from the media say she wondered if Obama is taking on too much too early.

Nah, you think?

Right now, my take on our national priorities are - reforming the entire health care system, reforming Social Security and Medicare, reforming/transforming our energy policy, fighting global warming.

And oh yeah - combating the worst economic crisis in most of our lifetimes. Did I miss something there?

The great conservative economist Thomas Sowell once said that there is a reason why radical socialists can so often be found on college campuses -- there their ideas can always stay theoretical and don't have to prove themselves in the marketplace.

Well, we now have a radical college professor without any real experience outside of "community organizing" rabble rousing who has the authority and power to enact radical ideas thought up at the coffee house on the college green in 1974.

Obama's style so far has the feel of an arrogant college kid with 'big ideas' who has never had to deal with the real world of markets and economic realities.
