The major point CK is missing on Obama is that he has super majorities to do whatever he likes. It is not due to some sort of persuasive powers. Those days are over. Reagan ran on a platform, won in a major landslide and forced a Congress run by the opposition to enact his ideas. Secondly the point CK is missing is that those policies were wildly successful. It is unlikely that we see similar economic progress with these current plans because the they are preciey opposite of what Reagan did. I have no illusions that we will not have a tough fight in 2012, but this article is pretty poor. CK is a Beltway ivy league elistist and that clouds his views sometimes.
Every thing Obama is implementing will doom the economy.
Higher taxes
More regulations
More government takeovers
Less domestic oil drilling
More spending like mad men
More welfare for the bums of society
More illegal aliens
More people getting endless unemployment checks
How, just HOW is that going to turn things around?
His whole agenda is DOOMED to utter and complete failure.
Seriously, if giving poor people free everything actually made things better for everyone, even I would be a democrat. But it doesn't, it never has and never will. When you take from the rich to give to the poor.. you just end up with everyone poor, EVERYTIME.
