It’s always nice to see the person who caused your problems laughing at those problems. In this case we refer to Christine Romer, the first chair of President Obama’s Council of Economic Advisers.
ABC’s Jake Tapper reports the annoying news:
Only hours after Standard & Poor’s downgraded the credit worthiness of the U.S. for the first time in history, a former Obama economic adviser summarized the situation in a colorful way.
The U.S. is “pretty darn fu**ed,” said Christine Romer, President Obama’s first chair of the White House Council of Economic Advisers.
Appearing on HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher”, Ms. Romer was asked about what the downgrade means for the U.S. economy. Romer’s profanity followed a clip for a segment on Maher’s show called “How Fucked Are We?”
An amused Maher paused to let the audience enjoy what Romer had said. After all, it’s not everyday that a professor and former White House staffer swears on live cable.
Of course, as Rush Limbaugh always says, “Failure is a resume enhancement for liberals.” Romer left the Obama administration to disseminate her left wing lunacy to eager young liberal ears at UC Berkeley.
Here’s Romer back in 2009 telling Fox News’ Chris Wallace that she’s “absolutely confident” her economic policies will work in a year.
Unfortunately, she was wrong is 2009, but right in 2011.

Bill Maher is a pasty-faced troll with as much personality as the latest effort my dog left on the lawn this morning.
BHO's messiahship only works after complete chaos reigns and divided gov't fails. Only then will "hope and change'' prevail as Premier Obama.
How nice. I never though accused Obama's croonies of having class and distinction. What is it with the lesbiany looks of certain liberal women?
White House thugs target S&P and dares Moody's to go AA+.
If a buck, by chance, stops on BHO's desk, it will be borrowed.
...or counterfeited.
Hot off the presses.
Your comment is awaiting moderation. Joking right? My language was far more tame than this article's headline. Unreal.
This is an automated feature that's part of WordPress, the platform on which IHTM is built. It's a quirky thing and we're often surprised by some of the innocent comments that it automatically flags.
Okay, well since you were nice enough to explain it to me...I'll just get over it and watch my percent signs those babies will get you in trouble.
I'm kinda surprised about that, considering some of the posts I saw today.
After the word "indeed" I wrote a bunch of percent signs preceded by the letter "f". Not my finest moment but surprised it was flagged.
I didn't hear BHO's speech but according to the Daily Caller, he is urging tax hikes. So Romer is right. If that passes for leadership we are indeed
I'm not laughing because this is nothing to laugh about. How about laughing in the face of the millions of unemployed - how about laughing at the out of work father whose job was taken by an illegal alien; how about laughing at the guy whose house was foreclosed; how about laughing at the generation of young people who have never even been able to get a first job out of college?
The assmonkey manchild plays golf and has a birthday party and the liberal establisment yucks it up while Rome burns. But if I am critical of the administration I am a racist and potential domestic terrorist.
That's exactly right, so what's your problem?

One of the greatest men of our times. I wish he would run for president. The guy is ridiculously smart. I highly recommend "Dismantling America."
Btw, Gibsmesum, you racist troll, guess what color he is? BLACK, and damn proud of it.
Hey, she has that typical liberal woman look to her, FAT and UGLY, and she's being interviewed by a ambiguous sexual troll, bill maher.
