Warren Buffet has hopped off the Hope’n’change Express and thrown its driver under the wheels.
The tycoon, who lent Obama his economic credibility, told CNBC that he’s having second thoughts about his choice for president. Maybe even third ones.
A sizeable portion of Buffet’s wealth has evaporated since Election Day. So the world’s second-richest man had a few choice words about Obama’s handling of the economy and the administration’s cynical new mantra about a crisis being a terrible thing to waste. Naturally, the CNBC interview was promptly ignored by the rest of the dinosaur media.
Before launching into his criticism, Buffet made sure to offer a qualifying disclaimer. “I strongly support him,” Buffet said, “and I think he’s the right guy.” For some reason, Buffet couldn’t explain exactly why he still supports Obama. But never mind.
Then came Warren’s big BUT:
“…Job one is to win the war, the economic war. Job two is to win the economic war. And job three. And you can’t expect people to unite behind you if you’re trying to jam a whole bunch of things down their throat. So I would, I would absolutely say for the, for the interim, till we get this one solved, I would not be pushing a lot of things that are, you know, are contentious. And I also, I also would do no finger-pointing whatsoever.”
Note: the above quote begins at minute 15:45 in video.
We think he said “finger pointing” but it might have been “finger painting.” Because we’d all be a lot better off if Obama did more of the latter and less of the former.

Warren’s grandaddy was a Republican, his pappy was a Republican. This guy has no business backing the jackass party. Would Vince Lombardi start Michael Jackson at quarterback?
