Lefty Sachs Zaps Obama: 'No Plan, No Leadership'
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/19/2011 5:13:50 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

All joking aside about "if Obama has lost [fill in the blank], he has lost America", there was a stunning display today of a formerly ardent supporter condemning in the most fundamental terms President Obama's failure of leadership.

On Morning Joe, leftist Columbia Prof. Jeffrey Sachs scalded the president. Declared Sachs: the stimulus failed. Three years in, Obama has no plan, and is providing "no leadership." Ouch.

I'm sitting here watching with my mouth open. Every day I am surprised by another former Obama sycophant turning on him. I just don't see how he can be re-elected.

But just in time for 2012 he will have some stupid spend-crazy plan. Talk about transparent. Obama just doesn’t give a crap.

Funny watching the expressions on the faces of the interviewers (I don’t know who they are—I don’t watch television.)

What was priceless were the expressions on the faces of the other two people in that video.

They had mouths open, in disbelief, that The One was being so disparaged.

[Many are opening their eyes to the failure of leadership. Trouble is, will white guilt return when Team Obama starts firing race card allegations at the opposition — as he did in 2008 — or has that card been used so much that it is over its limit?]

And tell me how, Sachs, you view conservatives that have been criticizing this approach and Obama’s lack of experience and hot-air plans since he came on the scene?

If you had half an ounce of integrity, you would say, “They were right all along. They knew better than I did. Maybe we ought to listen to them.”

But no. Like all liberals, your next question will be, “Which OTHER liberal democrat should we put in power to fix the problems (created by the previous liberal democrat)?”

And when that one fails, you will again ask, “OK. THAT one didn’t work, so which OTHER liberal democrat should we put in power to fix the problems?”

Einstein made a statement along the lines that insanity is trying the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

I’d say Einstein may have been good with physics but was pretty weak when it came to character analysis.

That isn’t insanity.

It is stupidity coupled with arrogance.

Yep. That's it.
Whenever I thinks I see a glimmer of sanity from the left, it always comes back to that.

Since Goldman Sachs and Bernake are basically from the same ilk, as well as Soros...unless they all have huge positions in Gold, Silver and are all shorting the USD, tell me how these libs figure to benefit from Obamanomics? Are they really that stupid or know something we don’t?

This one is a head scratcher to me...or, possibly were they told lies by him and Soros and are now deer in the headlights, too? (bait and switch)
