Well, no surprise here. You could see this economic train barrelling down the tracks as soon as Obama put through his Porkulus bill.
But it is, indeed, a major surprise to see that Mort Zuckerman, a major Democrat player and big-time donor, and the Daily News, which is reliably liberal, would come out with a story like this AND BLAME IT ON OBAMA.
No “Bush’s fault” here, even though, to be honest, Bush was a big spender and was partly responsible for the recent mess with his GM bailout and his TARP nonsense. True, Bush was suckered by Paulson and Obama. But putting the blame squarely on Obama and letting Bush entirely off the hook is remarkable for a liberal source like this.
I am 65 and I have seen this train coming for thirty years or more but it started out as an old chug, chug steamer barely moving and gradually evolved until 2008 when it emerged as a “bullet” train and now is changing into a ballistic missile.
