| 58. | KKK | ||
|
Otherwise known as the Krugman Keynesian Klan, a cult following of neo-progressive racist economists. Their leader, Paul Krugman, heads up the organization and has won a beauty pageant in Norway on his lunatic ideas, including killing Iraqis or destroying perfectly good homes in America to stimulate the economy. Only a member of the Krugman Keynesian Klan, or KKK, would advocate for a stimulus plan centered on defending Earth from a false flag alien invasion.

| 59. | Obama | ||
|
A well-intentioned president who, contrary to what the disaffected right-wing would have us believe, has actually made many accomplishments despite the craptacular state of affairs he inherited from his predecessor. A president who (perhaps unjustifiably) has made sincere efforts at bipartisanship despite the unrelenting barrage of lies and bullshit from the right-wing attack machine who's only goal is to tear down his presidency at all costs, and the outright refusal of congressional republiturds to consider any of his ideas, even if said ideas originally garnered bipartisan support. Notable accomplishments include:
Passage of the controversial stimulus act, which despite it's flaws, helped to curb job loss, improved our infrastructure, and saved many state governments from going bankrupt. Most economists believe we would be worse off without it. Helped turn the economy around (the Dow was only in the 6000s when Obama took office) Ordered the strike that killed Bin Laden, and implemented the drone strike policy that killed Bin Ladin's number two man and sent Al Qaeda running. Passed health care reform, something many presidents have tried to do and failed. While it could have done more to bring down costs and less to appease the insurance industry, it was the best we could get in today's political climate, and it does bring America closer to the developed world in terms of health care. And to the losers who are messing up the votes on the Obama defs, kindly fuck off and get a life. To everyone else: don't believe any of the vote totals on these pages. They are being hacked! Yesterday, Obama-hating def 6189985 written by Star Destroyer 2 had 15 thumbs down and 0 up. Today (as of this writing) it magically has 60 thumbs up!! Likewise, def 6183602 written by coffee_lover had 16 thumbs up and 0 down, until today. Now it's 16 up and 47 down. I smell a Kochroach. |

| 62. | recovery | ||
|
In our Wall Street Derivative Nation language, the word RECOVERY is pronounced Wreck-Hovery. The Wall Street definition is: 1. The suspension - as in hovering in the air - of rules governing theft/embezzlement/fraud ~ and/or 2. Vultures, hyena, mice, banksters and other Scavenger Species amassing and eating what APPEARS to be alive ~ but is, indeed, dead. In a speech before the Unemployed Teachers Union today, President Obama explained, "To some of you, our current economic recovery seems elusive, but my Wall Street economists, working for The Too Big To Fail, assure me that this Economic Recovery is REAL and will be maintained."

|
The least civilized form of man-on-man combat. Politics is so annoying. Why can't we vote for scientists or economists instead of politicians.
