This is why Obama keeps campaigning long after the campaign is over. He needs admiration from the crowds. We all know that celebrities have the same mental issue.

Liberals have trouble keeping healthy relationships

Liberals are jealous of others:
Wealth redistribution are based is jealousy. They want what others have, and they want it without cost to themselves. They are envious of those with wealth, health insurance, homes, etc. It is a common attribute upon which all liberal protesters rally around.

Is there anything that personified this more than the Obamacare? It was opposed by voters by a wide margin, 54-41 percent. Yet it was still rammed down the collective throats of the American people. Why? Liberals honestly thought that once everyone had a chance to see their ideas, they would think it was great. Proof of this materialized when Nancy Pelosi uttered these famous words: “… We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it.”

They think they are entitlement
The liberal movement amounts to nothing more than excuses to legitimize laziness and entitlements. We see this in the Occupy protests. Their solution to counter corporate greed is to steal from those that have worked hard to attain their level of wealth, and give to those who refuse to reach such a work ethic.

You live in Illinois and can't grasp what unchecked spending and deficits is going to eventually do to us?

Do you not have any friends that are teachers there or on public pensions? WTH?

Yeah, how about that.

And then there's, uh, Krugman.....

"Dubya's Double Dip?", The New York Times, 2 August 2002:

"To fight this recession the Fed needs more than a snapback; it needs soaring household spending to offset moribund business investment. And to do that, as Paul McCulley of Pimco put it, Alan Greenspan needs to create a housing bubble to replace the Nasdaq bubble."

So, how's the housing bubble working out for everyone?

White House Press Briefing, Office of the Press Secretary (Dec. 8, 1993)

MR. RUBIN: Hi. I'm Bob Rubin, the Assistant to the President for Economic Policy, and I'm going to introduce today's topic.

The President, as you know, has a broad, comprehensive strategy for dealing with the economic problems of the country for putting the country back on the right track for the long-term. A lot of the legislative and executive actions that have taken place in 1993 have been pursuant to that long-term economic strategy of the President's.

Apparently, Clinton's long-term plan was to bankrupt the US -- it's working out splendidly, and Krugman's right there to make sure it happens.
Keeping in mind....

Oh, yes, of course. Spain's losing jobs and couldn't figure out why, so they do a study and find out that for every "green job" they create, they lose 2.0-2.5 real jobs and then the "green jobs" disappear and they don't get the real jobs back, so they took a net loss of 3.0-3.5 jobs.

Ooops.

Must be Montezuma's Revenge.

Amusing...
