WSJ article says “Obama’s Radicalism Is Killing the Dow”

Note to White House: don’t let the president see today’s issue of the Wall Street Journal.

Tell him the dog chewed it up. Tell him the delivery boy threw it on the roof. Tell him they’re still drying it out because it got rained on. Come up with any excuse you want, but don’t let him see the paper.

“It’s hard,” Stanford economics professor Michael J. Boskin said, “not to see the continued sell-off on Wall Street and the growing fear on Main Street as a product, at least in part, of the realization that our new president’s policies are designed to radically re-engineer the market-based U.S. economy, not just mitigate the recession and financial crisis.

“The illusion that Barack Obama will lead from the economic center,” the article continued, “has quickly come to an end. Instead of combining the best policies of past Democratic presidents — John Kennedy on taxes, Bill Clinton on welfare reform and a balanced budget, for instance — President Obama is returning to Jimmy Carter’s higher taxes and Mr. Clinton’s draconian defense drawdown.”

Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and Barack Obama. One who lusted in his heart. One who lusted in the Oval Office. And one who lusted to destroy capitalism.
