(34,857 posts)How else am I supposed to take someone who believes Obama is secretly sabotaging the economy for some political third way bullshit that only exists in your mind? That's what you're rambling on and on and on about - Obama drew up the sequester to push austerity and in the process wreck the economy.
Regardless of the fact his entire presidency is invested in the economy and if it goes into the tank, so does his legacy and his ability to get anything done. If Obama was that evil...if Obama wanted so badly to fuck over every poor person, he would have just announced he wasn't running for president and let the Republicans ruin the economy on their own and then his legacy could stay intact. But because he won reelection, he has an interest in the economy not tanking considering IT WOULD DO HIM IN.
The Obama derangement syndrome is so bad that you are trying to push this bullshit, absolutely insane theory that Obama is evil enough to suicide bomb his own presidency for cuts to appease the real power players.
And you say you're not an Obama hater? If you're not ... then you've got more problems than you're willing to accept.
Seriously. These conspiracy theories from the left and the right, trying to paint Obama into some super villain hellbent on destroying the world, are some of the dumbest, ridiculous most idiotic things I've ever read. The fact they're allowed here on DU shows just how far this site has fallen the last few years. It's mind boggling that liberals actually buy this crap.
