Political favoritism untrammelled by the rule of law (or) Tincture of Obamaism

George Will again nails it with his recent article on how the Obama Administration governs.

The Obama administration is bold. It also is careless regarding constitutional values and is acquiring a tincture of lawlessness.

He cites the Obama Administration’s efforts on behalf of unions in California and in the auto industry. Contracts shmontracts. You lose most of your investment but his friends gain control of a major manufacturing corporation. And if you complain he threatens you on national television. Sweet.

Will summarizes:

The Obama administration’s agenda of maximizing dependency involves political favoritism cloaked in the raiment of “economic planning” and “social justice” that somehow produce results superior to what markets produce when freedom allows merit to manifest itself, and incompetence to fail. The administration’s central activity — the political allocation of wealth and opportunity — is not merely susceptible to corruption, it is corruption.
