You know what’s gonna be fun to watch - when the market crash big time in the next few weeks/months, the right is going to place the blame squarely on Obama’s “failed economic policies,” regardless of the inconvenient fact that this is solely about European sovereign debt putting the breaks on any global recovery; about the big banks in the U.S. and their huge exposure to said European sovereign debt; and and the credit market freezing up all over again as a result of all this,.. etc. etc.

At the same time, you’re gonna see the dollar go completely vertical and take off like someone shoved a hot pepper up its ass. But you won’t hear anything about that out of the right. It’ll just go to show you that the right will take any and all opportunities to try and paint Obama as being the cause of everything that goes wrong in the world, whether it’s supported by the truth or not. In my eyes (call me crazy) if you have to lie to support your position, then your position is bullshit to begin with. In fact, as far as I can tell, the right currently has no position. Period.

As the late, great Daniel Moynihan once said - “Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. But not their own facts.”
