I like my politicians the way Napoleon liked his generals: Lucky

Jim Taranto, the Tarantula of the Right, at the center of the web of truth poisonous to the port siders political progress  (Sadly, Tarantulas have holes not webs but whose quibbling with a great monicker?) observes how lucky BHO is.  Imagine if he had Carter's luck? Freeeowww!

It's ironic that Obama, who worries about "climate change" and prioritizes "alternative energy," is presiding over the fossil-fuel boom that eluded his predecessor, who was derided as a swaggering oilman. The character of political leaders isn't the only factor determining geopolitical events.
