Manchurian?

Ruh Roh

“ Imagine that some hypothetical enemy state spent years preparing a “Manchurian Candidate” to destroy the U.S. economy once elected. What policies might that leader pursue? ”

Is it too early to make the assertion that Obama is the worst president ever?  Worse than Carter?  Worse than Clinton?  Of course not.  How could the most  unqualified, affirmative action presidential candidate in American history be anything but?  What is notable, is the swiftness with which the very media that sold him like a box of soap seem to have realized what they've done. I guess they never considered the downside to electing a life-long Marxist. “ Imagine that some hypothetical enemy state spent years preparing a “Manchurian Candidate” to destroy the U.S. economy once elected. What policies might that leader pursue? He might discourage private capital from entering the financial sector by instructing his Treasury secretary to repeatedly promise a brilliant rescue plan, but never actually have one.  If the secretary were smooth and played rope-a-dope long enough, the whole financial sector would be gone before voters could demand action. Another diabolical idea would be to significantly increase taxes on whatever firms are still standing. Barack Obama is a great pretender. He constantly says he's doing things that he isn't, and he relies on his powerful rhetoric to obscure the difference. He has made "responsibility" a personal theme, and the budget's cover line is "A New Era of Responsibility." He claims that the budget begins "making the tough choices necessary to restore fiscal discipline." It doesn't. ”
