It’s still Obama’s recession.
Any good dittohead will tell you that the current recession, which apparently didn’t exist until November 6th, can be blamed on the market reacting to an Obama presidency. Before that it was The Librul Media ™ trying to talk us into one. And before that it was “what do you mean unemployment is skyrocketing? The Bush tax cuts are working!!” There is but one conclusion to come to, folks; these people are not to be trusted with the country’s checkbook. They know of only one song and it has but two verses. One verse sings the praises of infinite tax cuts and the other is an ode to the unquestionable wisdom of The Invisible Hand. Unfortunately, like most great minstrels they deal best in abstract fantasies.
Todays news came as no shock to those living in the reality based community; the country is most certainly in a recession and has been for quite some time and the Bush Administration has been fiddling while Rome burns. The ability to look inward and admit error is an attribute completely foreign to your typical, AM radio addicted howler monkey but lucky for us they have been effectively forced to the margins. It is imperative that we keep tuning them out too because the only way to solve a problem is to first take ownership of it and the dittoheads have shown time and again that the only thing they’re good for is recycling myths and casting blame. Put in those terms I’m glad that it is Obama’s recession because right now we desperately need leadership that can accept responsibility and take action.
