LONDON (Marke****ch) -- In a decision as shocking as Friday's surprise peace
prize win, President Obama failed to win the Nobel Memorial Prize in
Economic Sciences Monday.

While few observers think Obama has done anything for world peace in the
nearly nine months he's been in office, the same clearly can't be said for
economics.

The president has worked tirelessly since even before his inauguration to
wrest control of the U.S. economy from failed free markets, and the evil
CEOs who profit from them, and to turn it over to wise, fair and benevolent
bureaucrats.

From his $787 billion stimulus package, to the cap-and-trade bill, to the
seizures of General Motors and Chrysler, to the undead health-care "reform"
act, Obama has dominated the U.S., and therefore the global, economy as few
figures have in recent years.
Yet the Nobel panel chose instead to award the prize to two obscure
academics -- Elinor Ostrom and Oliver Williamson -- one noted for her work
on managing collective resources, and the other for his work on transaction
costs. See full story on the Nobel winners.

Other surprise losers include celebrity noneconomist and filmmaker Michael
Moore; U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner; and Larry Summers, head of
the U.S. national economic council.

It is unclear whether the president will now refuse his peace prize in
protest against the obvious slight to his real achievements this year.

His achievement was $1.3 trillion debt-corruption-spend in only 8
months. Guinness Book of records material perhaps?

now let's see...the bureaucrats did nothing to my 401K last year

the free market folks cost me 35% in 1 year.

objective evidence says go with the bureaucrats


Obama has dominated the U.S., and therefore the global, economy as few
figures have in recent years.

as i said, the free market folks killed me. and the depression started
in december of 2007

george bush was president. the right wing thinks obama's been
president for 8 years.

and yet they think they're experts on economics...

ah, right wing fairy tales...so sweet

so wrong

At this point, there's little question that "the government" is far more
honest and accountable than the "free market" corporations.

I wonder if Lu realizes his pension check, which shows up every month in
his bank account, gets there because government bureaucrats make it happen.

So sorry for your loss. Too bad you don't have at least some control of
your 401. You might look at fixing that instead of blaming the boogyman.

i did have control. i did what the right wing said to do: trust the
rich.

my corrective action is not to trust the rich anymore...you're too
stupid to learn that

Look at the obvious, as soon as it looked like the Mesiah BO was going
to get elected the market tanked. The bubble burst as it knew the
economy couldn't take more liberal debt spending yet that is what was a
happening.

But you are a true liberal, lots of excuses.

He should fix it. My funds have recovered nicely.
