Obamateurism of the Day « Hot Air: "Remember when Barack Obama told people that he needed to become President so that he could address “the fierce moral urgency of now?”"

Articles: The Dirty Little Secret of Economics: "But mainly governments continued their bad old ways of subsidizing the powerful and shoveling cheap credit at political favorites. It's the way of the warrior. You gather up a raiding party with the promise of spoils and plunder, and then after the election, er, raid, and a nice little bit of rapine, you distribute the spoils among your supporters. Unfortunately the policy of plunder and cheap credit leads to runs on banks, panics, crashes, and the inevitable recession during which the suckers are gently relieved of their bankrupt assets, and bottom-feeders build a new base for economic growth.

Excellent!

Articles: Obama's Idiotic Infographic: "It is discouraging but not unexpected to see politicians manipulate financial statistics for political gain. More frightening is the thought that Obama might actually believe that his infographic is an accurate portrayal of our financial situation. Does the former community organizer have a clue?"

Does that require an answer?

Articles: Much More than a Third Rate Burglary

Articles: Much More than a Third Rate Burglary: "And if government officials are willing to lie and obfuscate, as I believe Agent Newell and others most likely have, to a congressional investigating committee; and if the Justice Department is willing to stonewall document subpoenas and refuse to produce subpoenaed witnesses, this administration is in full Watergate mode. What conclusion is to be drawn from their behavior other than that there are much bigger fish to be caught in Issa's net than a few overeager field operatives?
Are the big fish of the Obama administration ignoring the basic lesson of Watergate -- that it's the cover-up, not the crime, that can bring down a president? But then, in the present situation, we have illegal arms-smuggling, apparently to further a domestic political gun control agenda, which may have resulted in the deaths of Mexican citizens and two United States federal officers. Now that is a crime, a real and true crime, and most certainly a much more serious crime than a third-rate burglary."

Articles: The American Animal Farm

Articles: The American Animal Farm: "Neither debt nor deficits are national security crises. Both are just two symptoms of civic decline, a bloodless coup in slow motion. The end may come slowly or catastrophically, but collapse seems inevitable. And the solution isn't Democrats or Republicans; both parties are now 'democratic' in name only. Neither major party represents the will nor the best interests of the people."

Obama’s Wildly Inaccurate Claim about ‘Domestic Spending’ | The Weekly Standard

Obama’s Wildly Inaccurate Claim about ‘Domestic Spending’ | The Weekly Standard: "In his remarks on the debt ceiling deal, President Obama said, “The first part of this agreement will cut about $1 trillion in spending over the next 10 years....The result would be the lowest level of annual domestic spending since Dwight Eisenhower was president.” This claim is utterly false, as domestic spending has actually gone through the roof. How, then, can Obama make it? He simply chooses not to count any of the major categories of domestic spending — Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and (soon) Obamacare — as part of “domestic spending.”"

The punters, I guess, are presumed too stupid to get it.

White House Insider: "Everyone Stunned At How Little Barack Obama Understands" | Socyberty

White House Insider: "Everyone Stunned At How Little Barack Obama Understands" | Socyberty: "The one thing that almost everyone did agree with was how “idiotic”, “moronic”, “pathetic”, “self-serving”, “arrogant”, and “scary” President Obama’s role was during the process. Those are actual descriptions used against the president, and most of them came from Democrats. Everyone stunned over how little Barack Obama understands about anything. "

So who's surprised?
