Kneale: Is Obama Out of His Freakin' Mind? (do bears poop in the woods?)
CNBC ^ | 3/4/2009 | By: Dennis Kneale

Posted on 03/04/2009 9:16:29 AM PST by Red in Blue PA

At the risk of redundancy I'll ask it again: Is he? Is President Obama effin' CRAZY?

President Obama blames the continuing global financial crisis for the unmitigated carnage on Monday, when the Dow fell below 7000 and closed down 300 points (or 4.2 percent) at a 12-year low of 6763.

Bullspit! The man is in denial. By now we know the economy is ailing. The main thing that has changed: The disturbing details of Obama’s tax-and-spend plans are becoming all too clear.

Most of the moves he has made in his first 43 days in office have been bad for the markets, damaging to investors, ill-advised for the economy and detrimental to repairing the financial collapse wracking the entire planet.

Yesterday Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner told a House committee the new budget’s “single most overriding priority” is to “stimulate private investment.” Yet Bam proposes to more than double the tax rate on hedge funds and private equity funds, engines of private-sector growth. Can’t be good for firms like Blackstone [BX 6.02 0.33 (+5.8%) ]

As soon as Obama gets all those subprime borrowers back into their homes who caused this mess in the first place, everything will be fine.

Well, you certainly don’t expect zer0 to shoulder any blame, do you? The Wall Street Journal has noted that 0bama is already running out of people to blame - and this is less than two months into his regime. It is now because the peasants are ignorant and cannot grasp the “big picture”.

But, but , but 0bama said the stock market is like a political poll with ups and downs and he doesn't follow its gyrations.

Bet your sweet bippy if it had been his poll numbers during the primaries he would have changed his message pretty damn quick.

“0bama said the stock market is like a political poll with ups and downs and he doesn’t follow its gyrations.”

Translation: He is counting on political payoffs for his future. He probably never had a dime in the market to even utter such a ridiculous statement.

On the contrary. Obambi knows exactly what he is doing. It's called the Cloward-Piven Strategy.

Desperate for ratings. Demise from lost ad revenue is more immediate than any threat from the administration.

Or, maybe this is all a bid for TARP money ... pay up or we’ll continue to trash you.

So Obama really believes in his heart of hearts that when the entire American system collapses in ruin and anarchy a wonderful Socialist Ecotopia will arise from the ashes with himself at its head?

I remember when Isaac Asimov accused Reagan’s first Interior Sec’y James Watt of saying that the Rapture was coming so we didn’t need to husband the environment.

It is now because the peasants are ignorant and cannot grasp the “big picture”.

1945, Berlin, Hilter ordered the flooding of the Berlin subway system, despite the fact that there were hundreds, if not thousands of refugees in them. His mind set was that Germany didn't "deserve" to exist, because the people had failed him; unable to take him to the greatness he deserved. He set out to destroy what remained of the German people and nation.

I am not saying that barry is Hitler. I am pointing out that extreme narcissism, coupled with a failed radical ideology, has, and can lead, people in power to turn on the very people they rule over. Maybe I am being pessimistic; I can see this becoming an issue in the next 2-4 years, as the economy continues to tank, and more and more people turn on the one.

"At the risk of redundancy I'll ask it again: Is he? Is President Obama effin' CRAZY? "

His supporters are. The Obammunists are.
He doesn't understand the most basic principles of economics.

Wow, what's happening at CNBC?

Must be getting truck loads of outraged viewer email or something.

CNBC, the world's “Business Network,” is dominated by center-left Democrats, plus a few centrist Republicans like Kneale and Santelli and Kernan.

For six months CNBC has broadcast almost unconditional support for Bailouts and Stimulus.

For the last two weeks they have actually been questioning and challenging these policies.

Even Charlie Gasparino and Dylan Ratigan have begun to pretend that they are capitalists.
