Anyone at Free Republic already knew Obama was an economic illiterate. This was not news in any real sense, to anyone with any sense. What is news is that people are saying it out loud on a national news program.
Obamalamadingdong can only be viewed as an "economic illiterate" if you believe that his intentions and policies are designed to help the country prosper. They obviously are not and the events of the past year go well beyond incompetence. It is quite clear by every single action he has taken since he was selected to be POTUS has been designed to sink the economy and the country to depths not seen since the 1930's in order to foster chaos and fear. By creating a chaotic situation, fraught with fear, it makes ushering in a Marxist/Fascist society much easier to accomplish. American citizens, including Hume, have got to get over this notion that Obama has the best intentions for our nation in his goals. He obviously does not have a prosperous America in mind. This is not economic illiteracy at work here. His coordinated actions go well beyond economic illiteracy. It should be obvious by now that this is all planned to achieve the outcome we are witnessing. Frankly, at this point I cannot fathom why so many people still believe otherwise after witnessing the events of the past year.
