So, to what Obama brilliance do you attribute this? The return to the unemployment rate of July, 2008? Or the matching of the labor force participation rate of Jimmy Carter? Or is it the reduction of real household income to the levels of 1995? Which of these are you thanking the president for?

Progressives and Islamists — rooting out blasphemy of utmost importance for both [Darleen Click] Remember the ironically-named “Truthy Project”? Internal emails obtained by the Washington Free Beacon through a public records request from Indiana University about “Truthy” reveal that the school monitored “hate tweets” and shunned media outlets critical of the project after details of the federally-funded study were made public last year. Officials called a Free Beacon reporter a “faux journalist” for reporting on the taxpayer-funded project designed to root out “misinformation” and detect “hate speech” on Twitter. Truthy, which received almost $1 million in financing from the National Science Foundation (NSF), was responsible for suspending conservative Twitter accounts and removed part of its website that monitored political users, following the Free Beacon’s reporting. […] [ National SCIENCE Foundation? Guarding social media from conservatives - this is science Democratic style. ] Internal emails reveal the university’s initial reaction to the Free Beacon’s report on the project in August, which detailed Truthy’s goals to identify “false and misleading ideas” on Twitter and “detect hate speech and subversive propaganda.” The article also revealed head researcher Fil Menczer’s support for numerous progressive groups, including President Barack Obama’s Organizing for Action, Greenpeace, and MoveOn.org. Compare with Islamist theocracies: Muslims argue that the West should “respect prophets” by outlawing insults to Mohammed and a panoply of prophets gathered from Judaism and Christianity. But the Islamic view of Jesus is equally blasphemous to Christianity. And Islam considers Christianity’s view of Jesus to be blasphemous. […] Muslims who question freedom of speech are not calling for a special status for all religions, but only for their religion. They don’t intend to censor their own Hadiths which claim that Jesus will return and break the cross or that the apocalypse will climax with Muslims exterminating the Jews. Their objections aren’t liberal, but exclusively theocratic. They want a blasphemy law that exclusively revolves around them. Totalitarians who know better how to run your life than you do — and they want the power of The State to enforce their will. If you’ve ever wondered at why the Left embraces or apologizes for such groups as CAIR, Hamas, the BDS movement, and agitates for legislation like “hate crimes” statutes, this is it. Leftism is a religious ideology with more in common with Islamism than Judaism or Christianity. - See more at: http://proteinwisdom.com/?p=55940#sthash.RTldnVCx.dpuf
