Benghazi: Champ' “Wag the Dog” in Reverse - Capitalism Magazine
2013-05-22
Some time ago speculation ran through the MSM and the Internets about which “playbook” The Champ's administration has been following in terms of its domestic and international policies. Was it George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four, or Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged?

The consensus came down for Atlas Shrugged, a novel whose villains seemed to have enjoyed a kind of ethereal, literary karma and wound up in President Barack Obama’s administration. The premise behind the consensus was that before you can depict a country in ruins governed by an all-knowing, all-controlling totalitarian régime, it must first be ruined.
I'll go with Atlas Shrugged.

#2  From the posted article"There is the astronomical debt rung up by the Obama administration for which we might need to coin a new term that would describe it."

Ok, I'll take a shot... Zimming the economy. Replace all references to Zimbabwe in the link with US Economy after Obama, and I think you will have a "new descriptor".

But of course all Rantburg readers knew that already.
