This reminds me of a PC game that I like to play called Tropico 3. You play a banana-republic dictator of a small Caribbean island, who can do all sorts of things that liberals only dream about doing here.

Nobama is a dictator.

He has another 4 years to prove it.

“The market system is so chaotic and uncoordinated,”

Even though this is written as satire,the idea that the free market leads to an "anarchy of production" is an idea from Marx. It is the justification of the central planning of socialism.

But, on the basis of the way their prices are determined, every change in the demand of supply of a factor of production in a free market tends to be dealt with in the most rational, orderly, and efficient manner possible - that is in a way that maximizes gains and minimizes losses. And, in a free market,to the extent that the consumers are rational, the products whose purchase they discontinue at the higher prices will be the least important among the ones they previously purchased. That is, the consumers will discontinue their previously marginal purchases.

“I can’t imagine that he would ever lead us astray. In the four years he’s been President I don’t think he’s made a single misstep. I am supremely confident of his leadership.”

I’m not God so I don’t get a vote, but I wish Brian Williams could get an immediate ticket to hell.

Headline should be labeled as satire, or this thread should be pulled.

During an interview with Apple CEO Tim Cook, NBC News anchorman Brian Williams opined that “the country might be better off if President Obama could simply order businesses to carry out his economic vision.”

If this isn't a true quote, this thread should be pulled.
