Penn Jillette: Is Obama skidding or crashing?

I thought this was a pretty good commentary, Penn's always funny. The gist of it is that there are some things in life that are counterintuitive, such as turning into a skid and how to be a fire eater (he explains that one). As such, maybe spending more, borrowing more, and going further into debt may be the way, another counterintuitive idea that has amazing results. Or...

But there are some things that are just intuitive. Did you know, that if you're going 100 mph, directly at a very, very thick, reinforced concrete wall, and you speed up, so you're accelerating right when you hit the wall that the accident you have is going to be much worse than if you'd jammed on the brakes as soon as you saw the wall at the end of the street? Did you know that? It's exactly what everything you know and feel would tell you, and it's exactly true. Most times when you're driving, or playing with fire, or handling money, the thing that makes sense to you is also true.

I way hope we're turning into a skid and not accelerating into a concrete wall.
