I broke out into uncontrollable laughter atleast a dozen times while reading this "editorial."

It's like these guys live in an alternate world.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2012/01/15/andrew-sullivan-how-obama-s-long-game-will-outsmart-his-critics.html

Worth a read just for all the ridiculous statements and laugh out loud claims it contains

KEYWORDS: conservatives; idiots; newsweek; republicans;


So you want google to return links to “conservatives” and “republicans” when “idiot” is googled?

Obama’s budgets both past and projected, he will have added $1.4 trillion in two terms."

So I guess I just imagined that the national debt increased by 4 trillion in the last three years. Hell, it went up another trillion in just the last 5 months. Maybe it's the new math practiced by sausage smokers that I don't get.

Sullivan’s background? I am guessing he is about 23.

This 750,000 per month job loss number is so bogus. That was the value for December, 2008, the last month of the Bush Presidency.

But the total for 2008 was NOT 750,000 times 12.

Yet the media and the Democrats (same thing) keep making this claim.

The truth is - these were the first months of the newly elected Obama administration.

Most companies knew they were facing enormous uncertainties from the incoming Democrats, so they refused to hire new employees.

Blaming this on Bush is just so wrong, yet the media and the Dems do it all the time and no one corrects them!

“Under Obama’s budgets..”

The Kenyan lizard has never passed a budget. duh So projections of past and future budgets is a joke. The Kenyan’s occupier scum are desperate to dress up the economic data.

A common meme on the left is that they have superior intelligence than the rest of us. The best retort is to point the disastrous consequences of liberalism. 50,000,000 dead babies is one.

Why Are Obama's Critics So Dumb?

Why are Snoozeweak writers so gay?

I love how good ol' Andy conveniently omits the amount of workers that have been totally eliminated from the statistic when he talks about the 2.4 million jobs that were allegedly created. This dope uses the Regime approved statistics and goes no deeper than that.

If I was little Andy, I’d make sure I got paid up front for any work I did for Newsweek.

This is 100% BS. The question needs to again be, “are you better off today that you were three years ago?”

Gasoline is double, U3 unemployment is up 2%, actual unemployment has risen even more, millions have left the job market, food prices are rising rapidly, record numbers of foodstamps are being handed out, the nation is more divided then in any time during my life, we are almost $6 trillion deeper in debt, a hated socialist Obamacare has been shoved at us, Social Security and Medicare are now going broke, GDP is anemic, liberal agenda has infected the military, we are smothered in scandals and many more are being covered up, Porkulus was a total failure, crony capitalism runs amuck.....

This is coming from a so-called news media that was so bad that it was sold for $1.

Newsweek-Obama trying desperately to stay relevant by publishing anything by the Lavendar Commandoes.

The guy is so dumb he works for a company worth only $1. When Obamalamadingdong took over the unemployment rate was 4.5% and the national debt was at 1.4T. And that debt was incurred by the Democrats in the last two years of the Bush admin.

Hey guys! Rather than dump on the publication and make fun of the writer, why don’t we productively provide the talking points to counter this stuff? That is what a good conservative web site should be doing. After all, these are the talking points that Obama will be using later this year. We might as well stoke up our side so that none of us is caught flat-footed.

For instance, we should point out that unemployment figures produced by the government are only valid during the early stages of a recession. Once it has gone on this long, the government starts to exclude those who have dropped off the roles and are no longer even looking for work. Fox News is estimating actual current unemployment at ~15%. Others put it as high as 18%.

Not only did employers demur in hiring new employees as soon as Obama was elected, the government heaped uncertainty into the mix by passing Obamacare whose provisions were not even explained by the administration even after passage. How can business expect to extend employment to people in the face of unknown costs?!
