Man får jo helt lyst til at støtte Obama, når man har læst Naomi Kleins paranoide nonsens om hvilken slem, slem frimarkedsøkonom, han er:
He chose as his chief economic adviser Austan Goolsbee, a University of Chicago economist on the left side of a spectrum that stops at the center-right. Goolsbee, unlike his more Friedmanite colleagues, sees inequality as a problem. His primary solution, however, is more education–a line you can also get from Alan Greenspan. In their hometown, Goolsbee has been eager to link Obama to the Chicago School. “If you look at his platform, at his advisers, at his temperament, the guy’s got a healthy respect for markets,” he told Chicago magazine. “It’s in the ethos of the [University of Chicago], which is something different from saying he is laissez-faire.
Uha, respekt for markedet. Ja, det må man da håbe, hvis han vil almindelige mennesker det godt. Om en af Obamas “fans” (hvilken yderligere forbindelse han har til Obama, nævner hun ikke), kan hun bl.a. fortælle, at han blev gift på Versailles – og så må man jo automatisk være ond. Obama studerede jo også jura på University of Chicago, så mon ikke Friedman har fået hjernevasket ham allerede der? Hvor er den kvinde dog pinlig, utroligt at nogle kan tage hendes non sequiteurs alvorligt.
