Niall Ferguson: Obama’s Gotta Go
Aug 19, 2012 1:00 AM EDT
Why does Paul Ryan scare the president so much? Because Obama has broken his promises, and it’s clear that the GOP ticket’s path to prosperity is our only hope.

Routine chiro visit coming up? Getting a haircut? Read it soon, in a magazine that is found lying about in waiting rooms for almost anything, almost everywhere.

Well, considering that Newsweak is now aligned with the"theDailybeast" website I find it difficult to take it seriously. (not that it is possible for me to take it any LESS seriously). Article was written by a Haaarvard history professor. Now if their history program produces similar products from their constitutional law courses then.....

If it's a joke, it's a doozy.
It's the number one story on Drudge, and looks seriously real.
If it is, there'll be an avalanche of negative stories.

It's a pretty good editorial piece. The only glaring absence is the lack of focus on Congress affecting the POTUS plans over his term. I can understand why he would do that as it undermines some of his aims.
The comments look like the typical American political discussion these days. "My side is be-""no my side is best!" If liberal voters end up sending more Democrats into the senate and house I could see the same Congressional morass bogging down Gov Romney if he gets elected.
It will be interesting to check out the opinion polls 2 weeks from now.

Saw this online today and was WTH??!!!
Guess after some of the recent Obama-loving/Romney-bashing Newsweek covers people are asking WTF is Newsweek doing.
I still say Barrack Loving people will line up and in most key states you don't need a Photo ID or any kind of ID just show up and ask for a name and your voting.

A plan not a friggen narrative
From the article:
"But one thing is clear. Ryan psychs Obama out. This has been apparent ever since the White House went on the offensive against Ryan in the spring of last year. And the reason he psychs him out is that, unlike Obama, Ryan has a plan—as opposed to a narrative—for this country."
