another puff piece on perhaps the most irrational, unscientific, completely innumerate president in history

No “perhaps” about it.

“The president is an empiricist. He wants to do what works, not what conforms to a particular ideology “

Secret liberal decoder ring says;

The sunbathing Kenyan lizard king is a lazy communist.

Looks like Obama has no “genius on loan from God.”

His core belief is a belief in the facts - but you have to know which facts. He believes in the Alinksy facts.

The ends justify the means.

The end is marxist control, which is control by the elite few.

Everything else is pragmatically chosen to get us there sooner rather than later. Destroying jobs and extending unemployment and welfare gives him lots of warm bodies to fill the streets. Destroying the dollar leads to a collapse of society and a collapse of any and all social organizations that might resist.

But folks claiming he is an empiricist such as this author, are trying to provoke cognitive dissonance. The unstated assumption is that his goal is a better America. It is not. You will go crazy if you try to believe that.

As always liberals see intellectualism as their highest goal in life and thus this article more or less states that liberals are intellectuals and others are ignorant.

The NYT’s is simply a paper that knows their target audience. They don't report the news, they are in the business of modern editorialized journalism and knowing their target audience, they engage in affirmation of opinions and feelings of this group that is willing to pay for this daily dose of feel good nonsense.

Yes.

The NYT is the outlet of “Way of the World” letters from Chrystia Freeland:

Chrystia Freeland is global editor at large at Reuters.

“How is it possible?”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Some people have little connection to reality, most of us seem to have our “DUH” moments when, as a former neighbor of mine used to say, “My brain jumps timin’” but some people can talk for hours and make no sense whatsoever and seem to be perfectly unaware of making no sense. These people usually seem to believe that they are the smartest persons around. Our government is now controlled mainly by people of this type.
