" ' Senator Obama has been very timid and very unenthusiastic with doing anything with the economy,' Clinton, D-N.Y., said at a tarmac press conference in Burbank, California on Thursday,
'I feel like Paulette Revere -- the recession is coming, the recession is coming!' "
Don Surber has more:
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the many cries of Paulette Revere,
On the third day of April, in two-oh-oh-eight;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.She said to her Bill, “Oh, it is up to me
“Barack’s too timid on the economy
“I shall warn the people of what’ll transpire.
“Please watch my back if there’s sniper fire.
“One if Barack, two if McCain.
“And I on the opposite shore will remain.
“Ready to ride and warn thee again!
“As I did in oh-one, oh-two, and three.
“For the country folk to fear the economy.”
Democrats have been screaming "The Recession is Coming, The Recession is Coming" for about 9 months.
ReplyDeleteIt actually seems to me that, by making screaming about recession, the Democrats have created a self fulfilling prophecy.
I've been following financial markets. Right after the Democratic Party decided to make screaming recession a major part of the 2008 platform, short interest shot through the roof ... short interest on the US dollar shot through the roof as well.
The massive shorting of the market and dollar froze up credit causing anyone with illiquid assets to have severe financial difficulties. Banks were forced to sell mortgage portfolios to billionaire hedgefunds for twenty cents on the dollar.
Quite frankly, I am surprised that a politician is so naive as to actually take pride in screaming recession as part of a political campaign. Even if the screaming of recession is not the primary cause of the current economic downtown, it increased the hardships associated with the downturn exponentially.
