You must think he's the messiah capable of coming in and turning the tide in one fell swoop.

Obama said things would get worse before they got better.

Obama said it would take years to climb out of this mess.

You want him to fail so you're harping on every little item you can. Probably were leading the flag pin charge as well back in the day.

Enough, E, Eeeeenough.

Finally we agree on something. Bush should never have given a thin dime to any of the undeserving thieves on Wall Street.

As a matter of fact, he should have herded them up and bankrupted the lot of them to cover the losses and beheaded them as soon as they were broke. I would have installed the guillotine right there in front of the bronze bull.

Since he aided and abetted their thievery, Bush should be sent to prison for life. I'm glad you agree.

Actually, he's a professor of Economics at Princeton. And a 2008 Nobel Prize winner in economics. Hardly a "hack."

On another note: Sounds like he was completely right about the GOP tax cuts of 1995. And we do, indeed, know how that turned out.

Yah, I guess this is what Bush gets for "reaching across the aisle" to appoint a liberal economic adviser who cooked up this plan with his best bud Chuckie Schumer. You have a point. Bush was too eager to be liked by these filthy animals on the left, and he paid the price. This probably kept him from being among the top four greatest presidents of all time. (See my thread on Bush).

Yeah, Krugman was a staffer. Y'know. Collated papers, fetched coffee.

A liberal gets a job at a university. Big whoop. As for the Nobel? Yasser Arafat, Jimmy Carter, Algore Nuff said. This prize is tilted toward leftwingers.

Pop quiz:

Ronald Reagan, John Paul II, and Margaret Thatcher ended to Soviet Empire without a shot being fired. Which one of them one the Nobel for that.

Answer: None of the above.

No voting for drivers of foreign cars...you are secretly commies anyway.

How is Obama walking the walk? What has he done?
