Gee, I never would have guessed. You are a trained marxist idiot though.

He just got the letters mixed up: He’s not an economist...he’s a communist. All fixed, Barry.

[dfwgator]

But did he stay at a Holiday Inn Express?

it’s above his pay grade

He’s a community organizer with a win because of a little group called ACORN.

Not surprising for a guy whose only talent is dressing well, speaking someone else’s words clearly and smiling.

[Earthdweller]

Wow...the author acts really surprised. Everyone is gonna get something big for overlooking all of Obama’s lies and it won't be fun for anyone.

[SampleMan]

“Trained economist” itself is a joke. Any field that is so devoid of understood facts and where no two experts agree, isn’t really a field of study at all.

“I screwed up.”

Gawd, this guy is like so refreshing! /sarc.

zer0’s getting on-the-job training and we’re all paying through the nose for it.

[dforest]

You sir, are nothing but an actor, a poser.

The job you are in is way above your paygrade.

Good point. McCain was skewered for his statement.

If the tables were turned, and a president mcCain had said this, the comparison would be shouted from the MSM rooftops.

[cblue55]

Obama and Michelle also said they were tired of being in the White House too (paraphrase). Maybe they’ll take their toys and go back home to Chicago.

[PGR88]

Economists are not even trained economists.

Economists are politicians pretending to be scientists.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

So what. Very few presidents were. But many ran businesses or large organizations before taking office. Here's the kicker. A real president would make sure he brings in people who do understand it and can give us all real solutions. The best and brightest, not a bunch of incompetent boobs. Shoveling money to the special interests that got him there is the exact opposite of a solution but that's the best we can expect from this current circus.

Our only hope is that America can survive this until we can put the adults back in charge. He's counting on the Clinton retreads to bring back the "Clinton economy." Not going to happen.

[basil]

So—how many of our presidents have been trained economists?

[Emile]

Not being a trained economist doesn't stop him from making economic pronouncements from on high. For instance, despite his lack of training he just knows that any exec compensation over $500K in bailed-out banks is evil. And, despite his lack of training he knows for sure that if Congress doesn't pass a $900B Democrat pork (aka stimulus) bill immediately, there will be "catastrophe".

Any self-respecting person without training would just shut up when it comes to expressing opinions in a field in which he admittedly has no training. But O is too narcissistic to ever shut up about anything. His adoring fans in the MSM and the ignorant sheeple have been telling him how great he is for so long, he now believes his own press clippings, notwithstanding his lack of training. Scary.

[eeevil conservative]

He is a Saul Alinsky trained radical communist....
