Howdy Doody disappoints Buffalo Bob: George Soros says Obama has lost control

George Soros was the inspiration for Mike Myers "Dr. Evil." Or if he wasn't, he should have been.

Here’s something you don’t see every day — the puppet master discussing the puppet’s performance.

George Soros, source of the left’s seemingly infinite supply of money, will be on CNN Sunday morning with Fareed Zakaria. In this pre-released clip, the shadowy billionaire puppet master says President Barack Obama has “lost control” of the national economy.

You almost have to feel sorry for Soros. He’s invested a small fortune (well, small by his standards) to elect extreme left wing Democrats and now he bemoans the fact that Republicans are setting the national agenda.

Of course, Soros predicts that that agenda will fail because, well, because it’s not what he wants.

“They are going to pursue a very strong effort to cut services by refusing to have any tax increases. I think this agenda will be successful. But it will be pursued, I think, to an extent where it’s more directed at cutting services and achieving the ideological purposes of the Republicans rather than to get the economy going. So I think this will have a negative effect on the economy.”
