In his latest column for the New York Times, celebrated economist and pundit Paul Krugman pushes against the conventional wisdom and argues that President Obama is actually having a really good year.
“The truth is that these days much of the commentary you see on the Obama administration … emphasizes the negative,” Krugman writes. “But this is all wrong. You should judge leaders by their achievements, not their press, and in terms of policy substance Mr. Obama is having a seriously good year.”
Yes he is. He has perfected a method of destroying America, while escaping responsibility for the damage. Here are examples:
1. He used the IRS to suppress political activity against him. How does he evade responsibility? He pretends not to know about it. Then the people directly responsible refuse to testify, lose emails and come down with the Hillary syndrome (I do not specifically recall...etc.). After a while the Media refuses to cover "old news."
2. He advocated that US Armed Forces veterans provide their own insurance, since they volunteered for combat. The VA started refusing to provide medical care for the veterans and prepared phony reports on what they had done. Obama? He is shocked and will investigate (meaning he will wait until the hubbub dies down).
3. He refuses to enforce the laws on immigration or even defend the border. Anyone can enter the country from Mexico; criminals, terrorists, whoever. The invaders are transported across state lines in violation of specific laws.
4. He has bugged out of Iraq and as a result Al Qaeda has established an Islamic Caliphate in Iraq and Syria. Islamists promise to come to New York and carry the fight directly to us.
5. Iran is not only allowed to continue with developing an atom bomb, but is now openly sending arms and soldiers to South Iraq.
6. The federal tax take has reached 1.9T, but the economy flounders because of Obama policies.
7. He has released 5 of the most senior Taliban commanders in violation of the laws that required him to consult with Congress.
8. His EPA henchmen declared that power plants must decrease carbon emission by 30% over time. This will skyrocket electricity prices, as he promised before his first campaign.

I say he is having a good year.
