>Good God, is this the stupidest intellectual elite in history or what?

No, just the most influential. Intellectuals have always been a mix of stupid, destructive and brilliant. Most of the time there were gatekeepers, people who asked questions. There isn’t any now. Anyone who is opposed to Obama is wondering how to cater to the craven journalists who kissed his shoes, instead of stating clearly and fearlessly that he has no clothes. Because he doesn’t. There is no one who has spent their way out of a recession all the while attacking the engines of economic growth.

The economy will improve when Obama is out of power.
