Apparently to some folks "Keynesian" means, "Born in Hawaii" :~D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_23Nt5XumaU&feature=player_embedded

I was about to ask what economics has to do with Obama's nationality, then I watched the video. *Facepalm* I hope the whole thing was a joke and the "interviewees" were in on it. I'm not all that good at economics...but dang.

In their defense, though, it does sound similar to "Kenyan". I also just realized I've been pronouncing "Keynseian" incorrectly for the past 5 years.

It's kind of disturbing that none of his supporters care where he is from. Also curious they get upset so quickly with those who do care.

Yes. I thought my comment was on target. Did I miss something?

Sorry, it just seemed you thought I said "Kenyan", much like the people in the video. :~D

This is funny, yes, but mostly very, very sad. If these were my supporters, I would be ashamed. Now you know how Obama got to be president in the first place. It's too sad for Jon Stewart as well, that his audience isn't as intelligent as he is. I wonder how many good jokes go right over their heads? And yes, he is a Keynesian.

I saw this before and it's hilarious! Someone else also started a discussion on this topic only it was directed at "stupid myLotters without speakers who won't get it". I'm a myLotter without speakers but I'm not stupid and I certainly DO get it...lol! Annie

I literally almost peed my pants on this one. Hilarious how people are so quick to jump before they think or speak. They see what they want and go with it.
