Nevermind! Politics as USUAL!
Obama cancels economic catastrophe!
Well, I’m glad that’s over. Economy GOOD! (Oooooh, the files are inside the computer)
Nothing more to see here. Move along.
From my dearest Anchoress:
Obama cancels economic catastrophe!
Right after Obama got told to get his act together in a crisis:
The economic crisis is downgraded. No longer a catastrophe. Let’s dance!
Look, Obama – the intellectual – was getting hammered, his own party was starting to revolt from his grand spending scheme. His administration is making foreign policy gaffes left and right and he personally insulted our best ally. Some wonder if he is malevolent or simply inept. Some of his nominations are outright appalling or at least eyebrow raising. He cannot seat his cabinet or staff treasury. His priorities seem disordered. He’s been picking fights with private citizens to create his nemesis. His nominations are giving him fits. He’s not getting rid of the pork. Even an (unscientific) MSNBC poll says “yer doin’ it wrong, you’re trying to do too much, too fast.” The Tea Parties are actually starting to organize to a point where the press might actually be forced to cover them. Some members of the press are this close to starting to maybe doubt him a little. We’ve got warships heading to China. He wants to raise taxes, but you can’t do that in a “Great Recession.” He wants Universal Health Care; he wants to charge vets for their battle wounds. He needs to change the subject and seem like he’s doing very, very well, because he wants to continue the move toward nationalization, and he can’t do that unless – ta-da! – things aren’t so bad, after all!

HotAir: I assume this is his way of saying that it won’t be quite as bad as the Great Depression, just almost as bad. Hope, for a Change:
Wait, was that a piece of the sky that just hit me in the head?
