Is Obama A Keynesian?

If you're anything like me it might take you a minute to get what's going on here... but it's worth it.

Well of course he is.

people are stupid.

Though in fairness, the interviewer is looking for a particular response and in the context of that rally where people are expecting to demonstrate their liberal credentials, and with the way he pronounces 'Keynesian' (sounds like 'Kensyan' at one point) and with a lot of background noise, I suspect some of those people walked away thinking 'Er, whoops'.

He had it written on a massive placard.

Ah, another 'how stupid Americans are' thread....

Fairly obvious it's been edited...

Agree with Goingspare though that it was a little bit set up. Still funny though, and fair play to the woman who admitted that she thought he said Kenyan.

But only Americans can do that wrong-end-of-the-stick thing and be so earnest at the same time. Quite charming. If I'd wanted to do a 'how stupid Americans are' thread I'd have probably picked the Tea Party candidate whose campaign ads started with the words 'I am not a witch'. Now that's just funny.

Oh I don't know, lots of earnest and duped Brits on .

Chil - you might appreciate this 'sign' of intelligence also from the Rally to Restore Sanity .

To be fair if you asked most people in this country what a keynesian is, I bet the majority of people wouldn't know.

he is Blair with a suntan
