Yea, I posted this mainly because it shows how desperate the conservatives are to smear Obama. Blaming the economic issues on him is completely ridiculous, yet here we have the WSJ, formerly a highly credible business publication, posting an editorial that claims Obama is destroying the economy.
Conservatives view this crisis as a chance to get back in power, and they will do what they can to ensure Obama fails. Listen to Rush Limbaugh's recent speech to get an idea of how they think. It is truly sick.
Ayn Rand quotes align really badly with pro-Obama and/or anti-conservative ideas. First of all, she would most likely have railed against everything Obama is doing. The conservatives attempt to draw on the whole Randian capitalist ideal, although I don't think they are quite equal to it.
Anyone else notice the wsj editorial pages taking a hard swing right in the last few months/years?
They've always been the most conservative major newspaper editorial wise, but it seems like in the last few months I've seen quite a bit more of this totally mindless junk, just general hit pieces with basically no evidence or support.
Shame, the rest of the paper is so good, and the republicans could use some well thought out spokesmen right now.

Now we can finally enjoy unbiased editorials by the likes of Karl Rove and friends. Sorry, couldn't resist.
