American Thinker: Government Knows Best?
A reflection of the first seven months of the Obama presidency reminds me of the 1950's sitcom Father Knows Best. The sitcom originally debuted as a radio show in 1949 and was entitled Father Knows Best? - ending with a question mark that was later removed when the show transitioned to television. But which was the more appropriate title for the show?
As The Museum of Broadcast Communications reflected:
"Indeed, careful viewing of each of the series' 203 episodes reveals that the title was actually more figurative than literal. Despite the lack of an actual question mark, father didn't always know best. Jim Anderson could not only lose his temper, but occasionally be wrong."
Frighteningly, team Obama and the Democratically-controlled Congress -- who have taken on the role of the prudent parents of juvenile Americans -- have proven to be more than occasionally wrong for the country. In their desire to completely control American lives, they have progressed from losing their tempers to losing their way.
