Oops… NY Times Admits That Obama’s Economic Policies Have Failed – Then Quickly Scrubs the Line
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, April 13, 2011, 5:05 AM
The New York Times released a rare and honest appraisal of of Barack Obama’s failed economic policies yesterday.
Economix Blog reported:
At a time when the economy should be rebounding the latest GDP number for the first quarter of 2010 shows that the Obama economic policies have failed.
When 2011 began, Macroeconomic Advisers, a forecasting company, expected that America’s economic output would shape up to rise at a 4.1 percent annual rate in the first quarter, the highest pace in over a year.
But economic reports coming in over the last few months have been increasingly disappointing.
But, that wasn’t posted long.
The water carriers for the Obama regime quickly scrubbed that “Obama failed” line from their article.
Here’s the latest update:
They erased the whole first paragraph and replaced it with, “And the year started out so very hopeful.”
How that ever slipped by the editors in the first place, we will never know.

How on Earth does anyone think this country can grow its economy when 50% of the people in this country don’t even pay taxes and when we have 50% school dropout rates in many parts of the country? With our open borders and 3rd worlders first immigration policies, the Left’s demonization of the American Patriots who comprise the tax paying, self-sufficient Tea Party movement, the leftist “Tax the Rich!” movement (aka persecute the smart, productive, job creating members of our society), this country is doomed to socialist decay.

I wouldn’t doubt for a second that the White House could pick up the telephone and make a change in the NYT’s.
That paper would follow him over a cliff.
Bradley S. Rees commented:
Is it safe to say that the willful water carriers are now the official White House White-Out Regiment, too? Way to turn that corner, scribes!
Brooks commented:
When they protect Obama they are protecting themselves…
The Fourth Estate sold the nation Obama and the people are on to them…
RedBeard commented:
Brooks just hit a home run. The leftie media own this failed presidency. They can’t find any exit strategy, so they must continue to lie, in hopes that most Americans are boneheaded idiots and will continue to consume the pablum. Sadly, this is still working for them, although not as well as in the past.

We started with HOPE, but that CHANGED.
Ruebacca commented:
ohh wow man! Marxism and central planning has failed again.

NYT = Government run “newspaper”.

If nothing else, this should illustrate the point that when you run across something mind-boggling of this nature, you should take a screenshot.

OT
I don’t get it. A little more than a week ago, TPC’s list of the top 100 conservative blogs had Gateway Pundit at #25.
http://politicsandfinance.blogspot.com/2011/04/dbkp-conservative-top-100-close-but-no.html
Now it’s not even on the list at all. What gives with this Alexa ranking thing?
Taqiyyotomist commented:
From April 5:
http://politicsandfinance.blogspot.com/2011/04/list-of-top-150-conservative-blogs-and.html
Gateway at #25.
Today? Not on the list at all. This is statistically impossible. The Dixie Chicks didn’t drop in popularity this fast after saying they were ashamed to be from TX. Something is amiss.
Granny commented:
#10 – Taq
Alexa rankings are rigged you know – always have been. They really are not a reflection of how many people use this site, just how many Alexa users use the site. And Alexa is very, very old hat. Statistics really has nothing to do with Alexa. In fact, a good number of websites ban Alexa.
I suspect that perhaps the previous “high” rankings came from lots of hits from people who are no longer around – perhaps the friendly neighborhood trolls who have disappeared.

JournOList FAIL.
NYT FAIL.
Obama FAIL.
Liberalism FAIL.
FreakyBoy commented:
The White House simply telephoned and reminded the NYT that calling anything Obama related a “failure” is racist.
Just Chillin commented:
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out, government jobs, government regulations, government interventions and idiots in DC can not and will not create jobs. We are just wasting our resources on these idiots that we elected. Trillions of dollars, where did it go? Wasteful government spending and liberals has not figure it out yet?
Dean_L commented:
More liberal spin to follow – the article goes on to mention this:
“Today, after an especially weak report on February’s trade deficit, the group’s economists lowered their first quarter G.D.P. estimate to a sorry 1.5 percent annualized. If borne out, that rate would be slower than each of the last two quarters, at a time when the economy desperately needs to be rocketing forward so that companies will hasten their hiring.”
Notice ‘especially weak’ and ‘sorry’? How long until that’s blamed on the new Republican Congress and voters’ sudden concern for the economic situation because of the Republican victory?
templar knight commented:
But Sarah Palin is dumb. She can see Russia. And global warming. And besides the rich pay no taxes. And stuff.
tarpon commented:
Always wait for the revisions … GDP on the second revision was down to 1.5% growth, basically treading water, with one more revision to go. The third one is where the economists at the stats department are forced to tell the truth, unless Obama tells them to continue to lie.
commonman commented:
Canda Free Press has a post about about a well known talk radio host that was threaten by
by Obama’s thugs if he talk about Obama’s birth records are his college records, I don’t doubt this at all , read it for your self.
John Cooper commented:
Why does it not surprise me that the “journalists” at the NYT don’t know the difference between an adjective an an adverb?
