Buffett: Obama Is Wrong

One of the biggest names to lend credibility to Obama before the election was Warren Buffett, the second richest man in America. His endorsement helped persuade people that Obama knew what he was talking about when it came to economic policy. Now, even Buffett has made it clear that was a mistake. In fact, he kills several of Obama's key policies. Check it out:

Buffet slams Obama's payoff to the unions:

“I think the secret ballot’s pretty important in the country. You know, I’m against card check, to make a perfectly flat statement,” Buffett said.

And Buffet also slams Obama for taking his eye off the economy to pursue secondary and tertiary liberal wish-list items:

"If you're in a war, and we really are in an economic war, there's a obligation to the majority to behave in ways to not go around inflaming the minority. If on Dec. 8, or maybe it was Dec. 7, when Roosevelt convened Congress to vote on the war. He didn't say, ‘I'm throwing in about ten of my pet projects,'" Buffett said.

Taking aim at one such issue, interviewer Joe Kernen replied: "You might not have fixed global warming the day after - the day after D-Day, Warren."

"Absolutely," Buffett declared. He also told Kernen that the Republicans should provide general support for the administration, but that the Democrats should not be pushing "contentious" policies that are not related to solving the nation's economic woes.

"Job one is to win the economic war. Job two is to win the economic war and Job 3," Buffett said. "And you can't expect people to unite behind you if you're trying to jam a whole bunch of things down their throats. So I would absolutely say, for the interim until we get this one solved, I would not be pushing a lot of things that, that you know are contentious."

Right. We're in a crisis the likes of which this country's never seen... which is why we have to further hamstring it by imposing a $640 billion tax increase on everything produced in America. Because, you know, in 150 years the Maldives Islands might lose a foot and half of shoreline.

The Oracle of Omaha became the Oracle of Obama, and can now count himself as handmaiden of the destruction of the once-potent US capitalist economy.

Oops just doesn't quite cover it.

It's only when the bank accounts of rich liberals like Buffett take a severe hit (via the stock market) that they'll finally, grudgingly admit that these policies are economically disastrous. It's too bad they still think Obama is the right man for the job of restoring the American economy.

There's my two cents.
