Time's Joe Klein: Americans Too Stupid to Understand Obama's Genius
Jawa Report ^ | January 25, 2010 | Bluto

Posted on 01/25/2010 12:33:31 PM PST by La Lydia

Here's how the arrogant ignoramus Joe Klein sums up America's rejection of the stimulus package:

It is very difficult to have a democracy without citizens. It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of dodos.

Joe, let me put this in terms that someone like you, a sheltered ultra-liberal media parasite, can understand. The stimulus package operates on the economy in a zero-sum manner. If the government, which produces nothing, decides to spend however many tens of billions of dollars on "shovel-ready" boondoggles and buy-the-vote projects, that money comes from taxpayers, the people who are actually producing things.

So the wealth gets spread around the way the politicians see fit, with a big healthy dollop off the top to support the grotesquely inefficient government bureaucracies administering the socialist money grab redistribution of resources. Instead of letting market forces steer the money to where it will do the most good for the economy, the stimulus funds are steered by bureaucrats to where they'll give the best spin for the political party in power.

In other words, it's rearranging the deck furniture instead of manning the lifeboats or trying to fix the big, gaping hole in the hull.

Can you grok that, Joey, you stupid sack of sh**?

Time Warner is the enemy....Klein is just another Ellie Light clone

Time Warner Head Hunters are constantly searching for Ellie Light clones.
Klein is just one of a herd working for that hate rag.

Looks as though Joey K is wanting to get to the head of the Pres__ent Zero a$$ kissing line. Just one question Joey... exactly WHAT genius has been demonstrated by the self-aggrandizing teleprompter reader during the past year?

Obama’s too stupid to understand Americans since he isn’t one.

I guess “you disagree with Obama so you must be a racist” has run its course.

Its now: “you disagree with Obama so you must be stupid”

How are we supposed to know he’s a genius - we’ve never seen his college transcripts as well as many other documents that purportedly show his academic and life achievements.

I wish I was like Joe.....Smart and able to figure out things. He’s just like Alberto Burnstein...the guy who invented electricity.

I'm smart enough to understand that we have a constitution intended to protect me from power greedy government, and smart enough to know when government is stepping outside it's legal bounds. I'm smart enough not to trust them with my grandson's future!

That's as smart as I need to be!

The racist accusation ended when he started getting criticism from his left flank.

I must confess that, yes, I am too stupid to understand how taking out a trillion-dollar loan from the Chinese and wasting the money on make-work projects and payoffs to Obama’s political cronies will bring prosperity to America.
