Yes, I laughed hard when I first saw this.
My personal favorite was the guy near the end who understood it was an economic question and not a birther question.
But he was still unsure whether there was enough evidence to label Obama a keynesian!

You really can't know everything.

I was not aware that they are growing tea in Alaska either.

Saw this as well and laughed out loud.....to bad more people dont at least understand the difference between Austrian and Keynesian......agree or disagree, at least you know enough to make an informed decision.

Maybe this helps to make a decision, who is Austrian or Keynesian:

Sadly, the responses were not remotely surprising.

Obama is from Coroporatia.

The Tragedy of the Obama Administration | The Big Picture


Quoting 
This was the environment in which the President came into office. What did he do in this scenario?
• He appointed two of the architects of the crisis to major White House economic positions: Lawrence Summers as CEA Chair, and Timothy Geithner as Treasury Secretary.
• He made the enormous tactical error of focusing on Health Care Reform, while the banking crisis was still in full flower.
• He failed to marshall adequate resources to respond to the worst economic recession since the Great Depression.
....That opportunity was squandered, and Obama ended up as a defender of the banking status quo. It is where his presidency could have achieved lasting greatness, and instead was turned into just another elected official, who over promised and under delivered . . .

Now What? - Clusterfuck Nation

Quoting 
On Tuesday, when the Republican Party and its Tea Party chump-proxies re-conquer the sin-drenched bizarro universe of the US congress, they'll have to re-assume ownership of the stickiest web of frauds and swindles ever run in human history - and chances are the victory will blow up in their supernaturally suntanned, Botox-smoothed faces. But don't cry for John Boehner, Barack Obama.
The President and his Democrats may have inherited this clusterfuck from the feckless George Bush but they flubbed every chance to mitigate any part of it, ranging from their failure to restore the rule of law in banking (by prosecuting the executives of major banks who oversaw the systematic swindle), to mis-directing our dwindling resources toward ends (such as "shovel-ready" new super-highways) that won't promote a credible future for this society, to misleading the public in the fantasy that alt-energy will offset the disruptions of peak oil (and allow us to keep running suburbia, the US Military, and WalMart by other means).
It's really too late for both parties. They're unreformable. They've squandered their legitimacy just as the US enters the fat heart of the long emergency. Neither of them have a plan, or even a single idea that isn't a dodge or a grift. Both parties tout a "recovery" that is just a cover story for accounting chicanery and statistical lies aimed at concealing the criminally-engineered national bankruptcy that they presided over in split shifts.
