Trickle-Down Wreckonomics: More Barack-ative Thought From ACORN

I have said before that Barack Obama DOES NOT believe -- as he says he does -- in building an economy from the bottom up. He believes in trickle-down economics as ardently as any Reagan-ite.

But there is a different trickle-down at work in America, and it is this: when incompetency holds high office, incompetency trickles down through the ranks.

Please, if you can manage to wend your way through the interruptions and barbs, listen to Stuart Varney's interview with the head of the New York chapter of ACORN, or the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now. And while listening, please consider that Mr. Varney's guest is not some sort of anomaly; she is representative of millions and millions of people (black and white, but mostly white) who voted for Barack Obama.

Please, consider the video an example of what is a very Barack-ative argument:



And you thought an Obama presidency had nothing to do with chaos and anarchy.


Peace through dissent.

My thanks to James Taranto for his "Two papers in one!":

• "In Wednesday night's debate, John McCain warned that a group called Acorn is 'on the verge of maybe perpetrating one of the greatest frauds in voter history' and 'may be destroying the fabric of democracy.' Viewers may have been wondering what Mr. McCain was talking about. So were we."--editorial, New York Times, Oct. 17 [my emphasis]
• "Several F.B.I. offices are reviewing reports of fraudulent voter registrations submitted by the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, or Acorn, a liberal community organizing group that has been under fire from Republicans."--news story, New York Times, Oct. 17

If the editorial board of the New York Times was not aware of ACORN and Republican allegations against that well-known and arguably infamous organization, readers may have been wondering whether the New York Times is at all reputable, reliable, honest and in touch. Of course, I jest. Contratimes readers are not like the editorial board of the New York Times: dishonest and deceptive.
