Fareed Zakaria: Maybe We'd Still Be AAA If We Had a Prime Minister Not a President
Newsbusters ^ | 08-20-11 | Noel Sheppard

Sometimes I wonder how liberal media members could possibly live in the same country as I do and hold such startlingly absurd ideas about it.

Take for example Fareed Zakaria who on the CNN program bearing his name this Sunday is going to tell viewers that America would likely still have a AAA credit rating if we had a parliamentary system of government with a prime minister rather than a president (video follows with transcript and commentary)

The Socialists don’t realize their gay spokes-moslems (Omoslem; Fareed; etc) aren’t convincing anybody of anything.

Except to serve bacon.

How does CNN pick its newscasters?

Gay? check
Moslem? check
Hates USA? check
Not bright? check
Wishes this was Europe? check

Maybe we would still have a AAA rating if we had an American President-—preferably a Christian, Jew or even Atheist, but definitely not a Muslim.

Another answer of more government when government fail. This is what happens when Bolywood half jacks are let to talk.

We lost AAA for the very simple reason that we spend almost twice what we take in, have no plan for ever changing the situation, and our books are a mess of accounting fraud and wishful thinking.

The real question is why didn't we lose AAA earlier, and the sudden DoJ interest in S&P (and not its non-downgrading competitors) provides your answer.

There are plenty of socialist dungheaps, er, parliamentary democracies available for Fareed to move his sorry a$$ to. I think he should pick one and move there quickly.

One of the C-SPAN channels last night was showing an amusing and interesting speech and Q&A with former Canadian Prime Minister Jean Chrétien. He made a very similar point. Maybe this is where Zakaria got the idea.

Fareed has a point, although he may not realize it. If we had parliamentary government, we could have had a no-confidence vote and gotten rid of Zero.

I don't know, but they must be better than Eliot Spitzer's were. Fareed's still on the air.
