Stirring The Pot

I have no idea how the administration thinks these two decisions will benefit the nation and position the Democratic Party for success in 2010:

Holder to Appoint Prosecutor to Investigate CIA Terror Interrogations; and

Social Security Expects No COLAs for 2 Years

The unhinged lefty Bush Derangement Syndrome crowd will be the only ones cheering this interrogation by the time it ends. If the forces of radical Islam stage another successful attack - it won't have to be large - on American soil, this administration and its party will be finished.

And what happens if inflation hits the economy later this year as many economists expect? I can see Social Security officials making this call for 2010, but why do it for 2011 in such a volatile economy?

UPDATE:

Dr. Sanity has a great post on these stories as a deflection from the woes infecting the administration. Stay tuned for more.
