Lou Dobbs is an idiot

My friend doesn't like Lou Dobbs. I don't blame him:

My issue is that Dobbs is gearing people, or his faithful, towards focusing a negative light on EVERYTHING. Take today’s daily poll question for instance:

“A president that mimics President Bush with fearmongering to pass legislation, a Congress that doesn't read legislation and a deep partisan divide. Do you believe this is change? Yes or no?”

Let’s address what’s wrong with this statement.

“A president that mimics President Bush with fearmongering.” This would infer that Obama used the psychology of fear in garnering support for this stimulus package. I’m pretty sure that the “economic crisis” we have is real. I’m pretty sure that the increasing number of jobs lost is real. I’m pretty sure that the Jumbo Jack is no longer 99 cents either.

For Dobbs to say that Obama is striking fear into the American citizen by stating reasons why we need some sort of package is just NUTS. I think that using multiple economists outlooks as to where our economy stands is pretty credible evidence to support this supposed “fearmongering.”
