Elite Campaign To Re-Elect Obama In Full Swing?

From the Washington Post, we learn that "January job gains have economists rethinking outlooks."

Oh, really? Last I looked, the bear leg of the larger business cycle was still in full effect. Nothing's changed in other words, since 2001 – or more pertinently 2008, when according to our elvish analysis the fiat-dollar economy, worldwide, collapsed.

How do we know it collapsed? Well, various central banks have committed possibly more than US$50 trillion since then to propping up various financial facilities. That doesn't sound very healthy, does it? Say, you go ask for a US$50 trillion loan (if you can figure out where to apply) and see whether you get it.

Did these papers report all the signs that the housing bubble was going to burst? Did they do any indebt reporting on the flawed analysis of the Bush admin. before going into Iraq? Did they ask hard questions about the plan in Afghan. THe big answer is NO!

Stop the "Obama MSM" crud. THese papers are out to entertain you no matter who's in office. They have to use this formula because they see how you dum dums run to the bs on Fox News.
