Nah, because they aren't as up as they were last year, and certainly nowhere near as high as they got when The President Who Shall Not Be Seen was in charge.

I don't have that much faith that by that point we won't have blown ourselves to atoms and turned the planet into a radioactive cinder.

In fact, she didn't get the chance to refuse it. Her grandfather got pissed off with her and decided to give most of his fortune to charity.

Does anyone remember whether 5 months into GWB's second term, groups were cold making up complete utter total bullshit claims about his supposed failures?

Honestly.

I guess you might count 911 Truthers, but even they could point to a PDB warning the President about Bin Laden, and PNAC documents talking about reshaping the Middle East by way of a "Pearl Harbor" type of attack on the USA...

I suppose some were saying Iraq was a complete failure, but then again, everyone could pretty much admit at that time, it sure wasn't the fucking banner-worthy situation that President Codpiece made it out to be.

What do these obviously well-financed fucksticks have to point at? DOW HITS RECORD HIGH is pretty much exactly *NOT* WRECKED.

How does their endless parade of butthurt sore-losering bed-beshittification even get taken remotely seriously?

Hahahaha... at least they didnt do something REALLY dumb like accusing Warren Buffet of being a socialist.

But probably only because someone beat them to it. <a href="http://mediamatters.org/mob..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://mediamatters.org/mobile/video/2011/08/15/f...">http://mediamatters.org/mob...

There's always the AlGoreithm Method, where you lay there like a big stiff as things get hotter and hotter and then afterwards light up a cig and tell your partner all about how you invented the internet...

Uh-huh, because the sequester hasn't had anything to do with the recent leveling off of job growth, or if it has, then the sequester is Obama's preferred policy. Or something.

Bubble? What bubble? The stock market has its own internal mechanisms for maintaining equilibrium, right? So this latest, um, exuberance is totally rational. Clearly it's based on major growth in productivity and the mass revival of American industries. Right? Right?

funny how in 2009 every little fluctuation in the stock market was greeted with hand wringing and curses for that socialist Nobama, as it edged up slowly from its tanking in 2008. But now that the DOW is setting records, you never hear a whisper from the wingnuts...
