Midknight Review points the Daily Kos in the right direction.

In the Internet world of Marxist/Socialist review, there is one calling itself The Dailey Kos. Kos is a committed radicalized Lefty who has separated himself from the rest of the herd in terms of popularity but not in terms of rhetorical strategy. In other words, the Daily Kos is popular while using the same tiresome chatter. Just days before the election, Kos continues to cast blame for the mess we are in upon George W Bush. He apparently wants you to believe that we should count Obama's policies only to the degree that they have worked. Most convenient; if the strategy works, give credit to Obama; if it doesn't work, blame Bush. Its been two years. To argue that it "is Bush's fault" is to argue, at the same time, for the failure of the Obama Plan. Look, if Obama's plan was working, there would be no need to bring Bush into the discussion, would there ?!

And the strategy is backfiring. In a recent poll, Doug Schoen, a well known Democrat pollster, found that Bush scored higher in popularity than Obama to the tune of 48% - 43% !!! And it is rhetorical tripe such as the following that is losing the debate for the Left. Here are four points Kos sets before his non-critical readership

From the Daily Kos:

1. In 2008, we lost an average of 317,250 private sector jobs per month. In 2010, we have gained an average of 95,888 private sector jobs per month. (Source) That's a difference of nearly five million jobs between Bush's last year in office and President Obama's second year.

2. In FY2009, which began on September 1, 2008 and represents the Bush Administration's final budget, the budget deficit was $1.416 trillion. In FY2010, the first budget of the Obama Administration, the budget deficit was $1.291 trillion, a decline of $125 billion. ( Source) Yes, that means President Obama has cut the deficit -- there's a long way to go, but we're in better shape now than we were under Bush and the GOP.
   

3. On Bush's final day in office, the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 closed at 7,949, 1,440, and 805, respectively. Today, as of 10:15AM Pacific, they are at 11,108, 2,512, and 1,183. That means since President Obama took office, the Dow, NASDAQ, and S&P 500 have increased 40%, 74%, and 47%, respectively.

4. The Republican Party, whose candidate for speaker, John Boehner, will campaign with Nazi re-enactor Rich Iott this weekend. If you need an explanation why this is offensive, you are a lost cause.

With regard to point one, no credit is giving to Bush for the economic handling of the aftermath of 9/11. the Kos wants you miss the point that the Bush recovery was the second strongest in history, celebrating 52 consecutive months of increasing GDP, a record period of growth. Worker productivity averaged 2.6% growth for all of the Bush 8 year term compared to 2.0 for Clinton and 1.6 for Reagan. The notion that Bush created no jobs while Obama has created millions borders on stupidity. Every month, under Bush as under Obama, more than 100,000 Americans came into the job force, yet unemployment averaged 5.2% including the 2008 recession. That average is impossible if jobs are not being created to accommodate the monthly growth issues. Besides, if Obama saved 3.5 million jobs by doing next to nothing, Bush must have created or saved 25 million using the same standards to give Obama his "saved or created" fantasy numbers.

A second concern is the claim of 1.4 trillion in deficit spending for Bush's last year. What is not mentioned by this Leftist article is the fact that in the 1.4 trillion number is the $700 billion TARP expenditure, a bill written and approved by Nancy Pelosi's House of Representative and enthusiastically approved by Mr. Obama, himself. Obama is as responsible for TARP spending as Bush. In fact, 24 trillion has been run through the back side of that legislation and Obama has worked to have the bill extended. Soooo, why is Obama blaming Bush for TARP when he, Obama, thinks TARP is a good thing and continues to use its funds ??

The Kos article makes a silly point with its #3. Of course the Dow was down. Its called "recession." Kos wants folks to forget that Obama has demonized Wall Street throughout his presidency in waging his class warfare strategy (its a Marxist thingy). Bloomberg took a survey in December of 2009 and found that 77% of Wall Street executives believed that Obama was anti-business. That opinion has not changed. That opinion was based upon fact. Wall Street healed itself with NO HELP FROM THE PROFIT HATING, ANTI-CORPORATE Marxists within the current Administration.

The Nazi thing? We always say, Better to be a "Nazi" in historical re-enactment than a Marxist disguised as a pro-America, mainstream blogger.
