When Failure Is Success

When Failure Is Success | National Review Online:
Losing a job is freedom from job lock. 
A budget deficit larger than in any previous administration is austerity. 
A mean right-wing video caused the deaths of four Americans in Benghazi. Al-Qaeda was long ago washed up. 
The Muslim Brotherhood is secular. Jihad is a personal journey. 
Shooting people while screaming Allahu akbar! is workplace violence. 
Unaffordable higher premiums and deductibles are the result of an Affordable Care Act. 
Losing your doctor and your health-insurance plan prove you will never lose your doctor and your health-insurance plan — period! 
Being a constitutional lawyer means you know how to turn the IRS and the FCC on your enemies. 
Failure is success; lies are truth.

President Obama’s polls are creeping back up again.
They do that every time the latest in the series of scandals — the IRS, AP, NSA, Benghazi, and Obamacare messes — recedes into the media memory hole.
The once-outrageous IRS scandal was rebranded as psychodramatic journalists being outraged.
The monitoring of AP reporters and of James Rosen is mostly “Stuff happens.”
The NSA octopus was Bush’s creation.
You can keep your doctor and your health plan — period — begat liberation from “job lock” and the ability to write poetry because you don’t have to work.
