Hurrrah! And so what? (0.00 / 0)

Hurrah!

The real Mike Lux finally stepped out from the behind the koolaid chuggin' apologist for Obama who temporarily replaced him!

And so what?

There is nothing in this particular diary or anywhere else about the importance of creating jobs that everybody didn't already know when the ridiculous tax-cutting slo-mo first stimulus was enacted, and even if there was some moron living in a tree in Idaho who somehow didn't understand the importance of creating jobs to stimulate the economy, Paul Krugman kept explaining and explaining and predicting that Obama would have to come back to Congress for a second stimulus at a time when he didn't have nearly as much political momentum.

And even if our hypothetical moron living in a tree in Idaho didn't have a subscription to the New York Times or access to the internet, maybe somebody climbed his tree and repeated a great speech Dennis Kucinich made way back in November 2008, explaining how Obama and Geithner and Paulson and Bush were busy selling out the future of the United States to save criminal bankers.

And here we are.

So welcome back to the bright, sunny world of relatively honest political commentary, Mike!

But while you were snoozing your way through the crisis like that other legendary "koolaid" over-indulger and sleepy-head Rip van Winkle, this sad old world changed around you, and now you come running back into the assembly of relatively honest citizens shouting "jobs, jobs, jobs ..." and it's very old news.
