Donald Luskin’s column from just over a year ago – explaining that the economic crunch was just an Obama campaign event, and that jobs, the GDP, and the housing market were all actually in a flourishing state – makes interesting reading, especially since Luskin identified himself as an adviser to the McCain campaign.
What’s sad is that Luskin will not lose a nickle, or an op-ed placement, for having been completely and utterly full of it.
His response would be that the economy eventually did go bad because Obama talked it down so much, and everyone in the press will eat his s*** sandwich and ask for a glass of lemonade to go with it.
Early in the Obama presidency, Sean Hannity and company were attributing the decline of the Dow to Obama’s socialistic tendencies. Any idea what they are saying now? Is the rise of the Dow attributable to Bush in some way?
